The most common ankle fracture is the isolated trans-syndesmotic fibula fracture [1]. It is also known as a Weber B or type 44B under the AO (Association for the Study of Internal Fixation) and OTA (Orthopaedic Trauma Association) classifications [6,7,8,9]. For AO 44-B ankle ...
ITS fracture with intact fibula is a common occurrence, and they can be treated safely with reamed IM nailing that provides good union rates and the excellent functional result even in open fractures.
Radiological union was significantly earlier with the operative group, however, at 6 months, both groups showed fully radiologically united fibula on plain radiographs.#Nonoperative management is comparable with operative management for such type of fracture. Consequently, when deciding the optimal ...
COMPARTMENT SYNDROME AFTER ISOLATED CLOSED FIBULA FRACTURE-A CASE SERIES Original Research Paper OrthopaedicsVimal SinghAshish Chopra
But isolated distal epiphyseal fibular fractures of the distal fibula are clinically rare. We describe one unusual case of an adolescent with a completely displaced Salter-Harris type II distal fibular epiphyseal fracture. The attempt of closed reduction failed, and the patient required open reduction...
Weber‑B fractureStable ankle fractures can be successfully managed nonoperatively. Unstable fractures on the other hand should be treated surgically as operative management consistently leads to better outcomes. How to define stability in ankle fractures continues to be a controversial issue. Better ...
