Summary
Dynamic stabilization for ankle fracture-dislocation can fail in rheumatoid arthritis patients, leading to suture button migration and complications. This case highlights risks associated with this technique in inflammatory conditions.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Rheumatology
- Radiology
Background:
- Ankle fracture-dislocation frequently involves syndesmotic damage.
- CT and MRI offer superior syndesmotic injury detection over radiographs.
- Current treatments include static (screws) and dynamic (suture button) stabilization.

Ankle Joint
1.4K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula
2.8K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...
