Ankle: Pathologies 4 Flashcards
The Lauge-Hansen classification is based on this type of injury
Rotational MOI
Lauge-Hansen Classification: categories
- supination external rotation (SER)
- supination adduction (SA)
- pronation external rotation (PER)
- pronation abduction (PA)
Lauge-Hansen Classification: supination external rotation injury (SER)
types of injuries seen
- Injury of anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament
- Oblique/spiral fx of distal fibula
- Injury of posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament or avulsion of posterior malleolus
- Medial malleolus fx or injury to deltoid ligament
Lauge-Hansen Classification: supination adduction (SA)
Types of injuries seen
- Transverse fracture of distal fibula
2. Vertical fx of medial malleolus
Lauge-Hansen Classification: Pronation external rotation (PER)
Types of injuries seen
- Medial malleolus fx or injury to deltoid ligament
- Injury of anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament
- Oblique/spiral fx of fibula
- Injury of posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament or avulsion of the posterior malleolus
Lauge-Hansen Classification: Pronation external rotation (PER)
Where might an oblique/spiral fx of the fibula occur?
Proximal to the tibial plafond
Lauge-Hansen Classification: Pronation abduction (PA)
Types of injuries
- Medial malleolar fx or injury to deltoid ligament
- Injury of anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament
- Transverse or comminuted fx of fibula proximal to tibial plafond
Danis-Weber fractures
Type A: location
Below level of tibial plafond (syndesmosis)
Danis-Weber fractures
Type A: occur below the level of the tibial plafond (syndesmosis) and may be associated with what type of fractures?
Oblique or vertical medial malleolar fractures
Danis-Weber classification
Type B: location
- At the level of the tibial plafond (syndesmosis)
- Extend proximally in an oblique fashion
Danis-Weber classification
Type C: location
Proximal to level of tibial plafond
Danis-Weber classification
Type C: occur proximal to level of tibial plafond and often have these associated injuries
- syndesmotic
- medial malleolus fx
- deltoid ligament injury
Calcaneal fractures: account for (%) of fractures in the foot
10%
Calcaneal fractures: what is the primary difficulty following surgery?
Achieving anatomical alignment
Calcaneal fractures: ORIF are currently advocated for what types of fractures?
- intra-articular with displacement (>1 mm)
- extra-articular fx that involve soft tissue and/or that have significant malalignment
