Case:

A 36-year-old woman developed clawing deformity of her lesser toes after intramedullary fixation of a right distal diaphyseal tibia fracture after a motorcycle collision. The patient was found to have adhesions of the flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon to the posterior tibialis tendon and the posterior aspect of the tibia and underwent surgical lysis of adhesions. There was resolution of symptoms at 1 year.

Conclusion:

This case highlights a complication after tibial fracture healing of a rare variant of checkrein deformity with isolated FDL involvement. This adds to our understanding of postoperative tibial fracture complication profile and subsequent management.

Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

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...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

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...
