Minimally invasive intramedullary nailing of the fibula has gained popularity in recent years for the treatment of displaced ankle fractures. A 72-year-old man presented to the clinic with left ankle pain with a duration of 2 weeks. Radiography revealed a displaced fracture of the left fibula at...
The proximal surfaces of the tibia, fibula, and soft tissue were fully constrained. The Achilles tendon force was 50% of the GRF, so there was an Achilles tendon force of 160 N at the calcaneal tuberosity, directed vertically upwards. Fracture blocks in contact with each other and between ...
However, fixation of fibula improved the rotational alignment in distal tibia fractures.Conclusion Although there is no difference in outcome of distal tibia fractures with either nailing or minimally invasive plating, nailing is recommended for closed displaced extraarticular fractures. Fixation of fibula...
The projection of the left mandibular canal was displaced downwards. There were no teeth, impacted or erupted, in relation to the lesion (Figure 1c). Native computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of a large bony cavity extended in the left body and ramus of the mandible, measuring ...
