Q

is a strong, flat, triangular band, attached, above, to the apex and anterior and posterior borders of the medial malleolus.

A

The deltoid ligament (or medial ligament of talocrural joint)

22
Q

Components of ankle deltoid ligament

A

Anterior tibiotalar ligament
Tibiocalcaneal ligament
Posterior tibiotalar ligament
Tibionavicular ligament.

23
Q

2 types of ankle sprain

A

high ankle sprain

low ankle sprain

24
Q

syndesmosis injury
1-10% of all ankle sprains

nasa distal tibi-fibular jt

A

high ankle sprain

25
ATFL and CFL injury >90% of all ankle sprains
low ankle sprain
26
most commonly involved ligament in low ankle sprains mechanism is plantar flexion and inversion physical exam shows + drawer’s test
ATFL (anterior talofibular ligament)
27
2nd most common ligament injury in lateral ankle sprains mechanism is dorsiflexion and inversion physical exam shows drawer laxity in dorsiflexion subtalar instability can be difficult to differentiate from posterior ankle instability because the CFL contributes to both
CFL (calcaneo fibular ligament)
28
less commonly involved ligament
PTFL (posterior talofibular ligament)
29
clinical features of ankle sprain
pain w weight bearing recurrent instability catch or popping sensation may occur following recurrent sprains
30
focal tenderness and swelling over involved ligament anterior drawer test pain and tenderness and swelling on lateral aspect of foot
physical exam for ankle sprain
31
The examiner then places the patient's foot into 10-15 degrees of plantar flexion and translates the rear foot anteriorly. A positive test results if the talus translates forward. Positive test results are often graded on a "0 to 3 scale", with 0 indicating no laxity & 3 indicating gross laxity
Drawer’s test
32
ATFL best tested in
plantarflexion
33
CFL best tested in
dorsiflexion
34
With the ankle in neutral, gentle inversion force is applied to the affected ankle and is compared to the opposite ankle (invert/evert)
Talar tilt test
35
+ talar tilt test indicates injury to
ATFL and CFL
36
no ligament disruption minimal swelling normal weight bearing
grade I ankle sprain
37
stretch without tear moderate swelling mild pain w weight bearing
grade II ankle sprain
38
complete tear of ligament severe swelling severe pain w weight bearing
grade III ankle sprain
39
Also known as a "high ankle sprain"
Syndesmosis ankle sprain
40
most commonly associated with external rotation injuries
mechanism of injury of syndesmosis ankle sprain
41
Foot is planted on the ground and then an excessive outwards twisting of foot occurs
pathoanatomy of syndesmosis ankle sprain
42
incidence 0.5% of all ankle sprains without fracture 13% of all ankle fractures
Syndesmosis ankle sprain
43
distal tibiofibular syndesmosis includes
anterior-inferior tibiofibular ligaments (AITFL) posterior-inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) interosseous membrane
44
originates from anterolateral tubercle of tibia inserts on anterior tubercle of fibula
anterior-inferior tibiofibular ligaments (AITFL)
45
riginates from posterior tubercle of tibia inserts on posterior part of lateral malleolus strongest component of syndesmosis
posterior-inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL)
46
maintains integrity between tibia and fibula resists axial, rotational, and translational forces
function of distal tibiofibular ligaments
47
syndesmosis widens 1mm during gait
normal gait of syndesmosis ankle sprain
48
anterolateral ankle pain proximal to AITFL may have medial sided ankle tenderness/swelling difficulty bearing weight
Sx of Syndesmosis Ankle Sprain
49
palpation syndesmosis tenderness is the single best predictor for return to play + squeeze test
Physical exam of Syndesmosis ankle sprain
50
Examiner grasps the patient’s leg midway up the calf and perform a compress and release motion + test if patient experiences pain in the syndesmosis
Squeeze test
51
non-weight-bearing CAM (control ankle motion) boot or cast for 2 to 3 weeks indications
non operative treatment of syndesmosis ankle sprain
52
Syndesmosis screw fixation fiberwire suture with two buttons tensioned around the syndesmosis
operative treatment of syndesmosis ankle sprain
