Ideally, two screws, which need not engage the lateral tibial cortex, are used to fix medial malleolar fractures ... or transverse fibular fractures. The distal fibular fragment must not be ...

a fracture of the medial malleolus. The flexor hallucis longus may also become interposed between the fragments of a fibular fracture. [33] Of the two, posterior tibial entrapment, recognizable by ...

High-risk stress fractures include: the pars interarticularis of the spine, the tension side of the femoral neck, the patella, the anterior tibia (the ‘dreaded black line’), the medial malleolus ...

KOLOA, Hawaii — Orthopedic surgeons need to know the medial pathoanatomy of the femoral neck and obtain a high-quality reduction in the treatment of “young” femoral neck fractures ...

Objective: To investigate in a military setting the potential role of intrinsic biomechanical and anthropometric risk factors for, and the incidence of, exertional medial tibial pain (EMTP). Methods: ...

The incidence of distal tibia fracture is high, and it is one of the most common long bone fractures (Court-Brown and McBirnie, 1995; Weiss et al., 2009; Vaienti et al., 2019). Such fractures usually ...

The patient suffered an open Grade 3A left proximal tibia fracture along with a transverse lateral malleolus fracture (Weber B). A detailed computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a rarely documented ...

The present case study reported an in-depth description of a rare complication of an acute on chronic stress fracture through the medial malleolar osteotomy site following osteoperiosteal autografting ...

Pleased and grateful! I am excited to share our research article, ‘A finite element analysis to assess tibial bone fracture in malleolar regions following total ankle replacement,’ published ...

Background Colles’ type fractures of the distal radius are one of the most commonly manipulated fractures in the ED. Local audit data suggest that a high proportion of these injuries undergo ...

Stress fractures of the tibia (shin bone) are often misdiagnosed as shin splints in the early stages. In order to diagnose a stress fracture, a physician will perform a complete history and physical ...
