Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 27, 27742780 (2019). The remaining studies used either 20% (4 studies), 30% (2 studies), or>1/3 of the joint area (5 studies) as the cut-off value, 1 study fixed the PMF in young patients or in the presence of subluxation from 10%, and 3 studies did not provide any information (Table 3). Consequently, with regard to the proportion of the affected joint surface and recommendation for surgical fixation of PMF, there is a shift away from the 1/3 dogma [7, 17, 22,23,24,25,26,27,28].

Ankle Isolated Lateral Malleolus Fracture ORIF with Lag Screw . The boot you have been given is not needed to aid fracture healing but will help with your symptoms and should be worn whenever you're walking. 1 These breaks are the most common type of ankle fracture. Talus fractures usually occur due to high-impact injuries such as car accidents. which classified PMF into 3 distinct types [14]. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.injury.2015.07.019, Stringfellow TD, Walters ST, Nash W, Ahluwalia R, Posterior Malleolus Study G (2021) Management of posterior malleolus fractures: a multicentre cohort study in the United Kingdom. https://doi.org/10.1097/BOT.0b013e31828e1bb7, Erdem MN, Erken HY, Burc H, Saka G, Korkmaz MF, Aydogan M (2014) Comparison of lag screw versus buttress plate fixation of posterior malleolar fractures. https://doi.org/10.1053/j.jfas.2017.05.028, Wang X, Zhang C, Yin JW, Wang C, Huang JZ, Ma X, Wang CW, Wang X (2017) Treatment of medial malleolus or pure deltoid ligament injury in patients with supination-external rotation Type IV ankle fractures.

Some objections against Haraguchis classification have arisen with the time. Kumar et al.

Foot Ankle Int 39(1):99104. Cadaveric studies, review articles, case reports with fewer than 10 cases, studies that did not include a posterior malleolus specific classification, and studies not written in English, were excluded. Summarizing all of the previously described points, we believe that, to date, no classification is able to adequately describe the complexity of the PMF. Avulsion fractures are breaks or splits in the bone. Subsequently, the conviction increases that not the size, but the fracture morphology is crucial for the improvement of outcome [19]. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fas.2019.08.007, Wang J, Wang X, Xie L, Zheng W, Chen H, Cai L (2020) Comparison of radiographs and CT features between posterior Pilon fracture and posterior malleolus fracture: a retrospective cohort study. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00264-012-1591-9, Guo J, Liu L, Yang Z, Hou Z, Chen W, Zhang Y (2017) The treatment options for posterior malleolar fractures in tibial spiral fractures.

Lateral malleolus - end of the fibula The tibia and fibula form the ankle joint with structure and stability provided by the following connective tissues: Interosseous membrane Anterior, posterior, and transverse tibiofibular ligaments The collateral ligaments stabilize the joint against abduction and adduction forces. If the broken bone is stable and not dislocated, treatment may just. Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg 41(6):587600. Since 2015, however, a preference for the Bartonek/Rammelt classification has emerged, with the main strengths of this classification being the ascending severity of the classification and the derived therapy recommendations [29]. J Orthop Trauma 32(Suppl 1):S1S170. The ST portal was located with the ankle in extension at about 2.5 cm anterior and inferior the tip of the lateral malleolus in the sinus tarsi, . SY, RA, YS, MK, TS, and SO were involved in the conception and design of the study. Until now, there is no international consensus regarding classification and treatment of PMF [24, 31, 32]. 1 [33]. Second, that the classification was based only on axial sectional images and, therefore, fractures were only assessed in one plane, vertical size expansion not being estimated [31], that medial injuries were not evaluated, which may lead to misjudgments [17, 32], and that the extent of involvement of the tibial incisura was not specified, wherefore type I fractures include a wide range of both small and large posterolateral fragments [59]. A type 2B fracture with a secondary posteromedial fragment, usually angled at 45 to the primary fragment, occurs when the talus continues to rotate in the mortise. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00402-022-04643-7, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00402-022-04643-7. 2022 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. 5.963 patients were female and 5.231 male, 11 studies did not report gender distribution [6, 20, 24, 37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44]. Only one studied inter- and intraobserver reliability, measuring a substantial Kappa of 0.64 and 0.63 respectively [13].
