Ankle Joint01:10

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...

Fractures: Bone Repair

2.9K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

This study details the successful surgical repair of a rare open lateral ankle injury without fracture or dislocation. The case highlights a novel treatment approach for such ligamentous ankle injuries, restoring stability and function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Open ankle injuries without fracture or dislocation are exceptionally rare.
  • Ligamentous ankle injuries are common, but open variants without associated bony trauma are sparsely documented.
  • Standardized treatment protocols for these specific injuries are lacking due to their rarity.
