Background Lateral plate fixation, the current standard for fixation of unstable distal fibular fractures, can compromise the minimal soft tissue envelope resulting in poorer postoperative outcomes. Isolated lag screw fixation represents a novel method of distal fibula fixation. Methods Two independent reviewers conducted a literature search of PubMed,

Management of acute injuries of the tibiofibular syndesmosis
The syndesmosis is important for ankle stability and load transmission and is commonly injured in association with ankle sprains and fractures. Syndesmotic disruption is associated with between 5 and 10% of ankle sprains and 11-20% of operative ankle ...

The ankle comprises two main ligamentous complexes: the medial and lateral complex. In cases of chronic ankle instability following a sprain involving both complexes, rotational ankle instability can develop. We introduce a 25‐year‐old male with rotational ankle instability who reported having 20 episodes of “giving away” over the 6 months following an

The induced membrane technique (IMT) is a two‐stage reconstructive procedure for critical‐sized bone defects. We report a 31‐year‐old male who sustained a Gustilo–Anderson grade IIIB open fracture of the radius and ulna following a high‐energy dirt bike injury, complicated by Serratia marcescens fracture‐related infection and septic nonunion ...

Long-term Results After Ankle Syndesmosis Injuries
Item does not contain fulltextSyndesmotic disruption occurs in more than 10% of ankle fractures. Operative treatment with syndesmosis screw fixation has been successfully performed for decades and is considered the gold standard of treatment. Few studies

Ankle syndesmosis repair and rehabilitation in professional rugby league players: a case series report. [PDF]
The distal tibiofibular joint is described as a syndesmosis. Traditionally, severe syndesmotic injuries with diastasis have been treated surgically with screw fixation.

Morphometric study of human fibular incisura in dry bones
Aims & Objectives: Interosseous border of tibia splits distally into anterior and posterior edges. These edges project into anterior and posterior tubercles enclosing a notch called fibular incisura that articulates with the distal fibula forming distal ...
