A 42-year-old woman was involved in a motorcycle crash and sustained a type II open, right distal-third tibia and fibula fractures (Figure 1).The patient was appropriately resuscitated, given IV ...

Pilon fractures, in which the tibial plafond has fractures in both coronal and sagittal planes, have been classified by Rüedi and Allgöwer [27, 28] into those without displacement (type I ...

The fracture was identified, and length was restored using a lobster retractor clamp to pull traction distally and it was held in place with a 1.6-mm K-wire through the distal fibula into the talus.

Ankle fractures, particularly those involving the distal fibula, represent a significant portion of lower‐limb injuries worldwide. Traditional treatment involves open reduction and internal ...

Ankle pain after trauma is most commonly caused by either a distal fibula fracture of the ankle or an ankle sprain. However, the differential diagnosis of an “ankle injury” is much broader.

He was intoxicated at the time. He required an open reduction and internal fixation of his right distal fibular fracture. A one-third tubular plate and 6 cortical screws were used for fixation.

The IntraFuse FlexThread Fibula Pin System provides percutaneous fixation of distal fibula fractures, primarily Danis-Weber B type fractures, or trans-syndesmotic fractures. The simple and elegant ...

Suture fixation of acute disruption of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is done with the patient in the supine position, either under general or spinal anaesthesia, with antibiotic prophylaxis and ...
