Autologous Microfractured and Purified Adipose Tissue for Arthroscopic Management of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
Published on: January 23, 2018
Abstract:
The theme for the 1980's in fractures about the ankle joint, particularly those of type B and C, should be to restore both side of the ankle joint in an anatomic manner. The lateral malleolus should be fixed by an appropriate fixation device after adequate reduction has been carried out. The medial joint likewise should be inspected and the fractures reduced and fixed. This allows minimal immobilization postoperatively, and very rapidly the normal dynamics of the foot and ankle are restored and the threat of any component of fracture disease is markedly diminished.

Fractures: Bone Repair
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 procedure...

Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles.
