Triplane Fracture eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic353.htm

Abt & Hurwitz 2007
Triplane fractures of the distal tibia are generally sustained during adolescence and occur before complete closure of the distal tibial physis (growth plate). Incomplete closure of the tibial growth plate, as well as the stress forces applied during injury, are responsible for the unique occurrence of this...

Fracture Tibia and Fibula eMedicine Emergency

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/826304-overview

Lower leg fractures include fractures of the tibia and fibula. Of these two bones, the tibia is the only weightbearing bone. Fractures of the tibia generally are associated with fibula fracture, because the force is transmitted along the interosseous membrane to the fibula. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are very thin...

Stress Fracture Metatarsal

Location: http://www.mikety.net/Answers/Fx-mt.html

Stress ("march") Fracture, 3rd Metatarsal The only radiographic abnormality detected is subtle periosteal reaction in the diaphysis of the 3rd left metatarsal. No bone destruction is evident. No fracture is seen. Radiographic findings in a patient with clinical history of "being on his feet a lot" suggest stress fracture of the...

2009 Insufficiency Fractures of the Pelvis eMedicine Radiology

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/394406-overview

Insufficiency fracture is a subgroup of stress fracture. Unlike the other subtype (ie, fatigue fracture), insufficiency fracture is caused by normal or physiologic stress upon weakened bone. Loss of bone trabeculae decreases the bone's elastic resistance.
Awareness is increasing concerning the occurrence of these fractures among older persons. Sites frequently affected...

The Weber Classification of Ankle Fractures

Location: http://www.auscast.org/articles/lower/anklefract.html

The Weber classification which was developed in 1972 was developed in association of the advent of the use of internal fixation. The Weber classification did not take into account the mechanics of the injury but was a simple anatomic classification according to the location of the fracture in the fibula....

Ankle Arthrodesis Using Antegrade Intramedullary Nail for Salvage of Nonreconstructable Tibial Pilon Fractures Ortho Supersite

Location: http://www.orthosupersite.com/view.asp?rID=41937

The treatment of nonreconstructable tibial pilon fractures for which the optimal timing for reduction and fixation has been missed is challenging. Ankle arthrodesis may be a treatment option in such cases. We treated 2 patients with nonreconstructable tibial pilon fractures using ankle arthrodesis with an antegrade intramedullary nail. Our method...

Fracture of the Talus Patient Information AAOS

Location: http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00170

The talus (TAY-lus) is a small bone that sits between the heel bone (calcaneus) and the two bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula). It has an odd humped shape, somewhat like a turtle. The bones of the lower leg "ride" on top and around the sides to form... Highly Reputable

Proximal Fibular Fractures Orthopaedia

Fractures of the proximal fibula rarely occur in isolation and their significance lies more with this fracture's association with injuries to the ligamentous and neurovascular structures than with the boney injury.

2006 Limping Child eMedicine

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1258835-overview

The differential diagnoses of a limp in a child are broad. Normal age-related gait must first be differentiated from gait impairment. Once gait impairment is identified, differential diagnoses are narrowed as the history and physical examination findings begin to suggest a source for the limp. In many instances, a diagnosis...

Chronic Osteomyelitis in Children

Location: http://www.global-help.org/publications/articles/techortho_chronicosteomyelitis.pdf

In developing countries, chronic osteomyelitis often results from untreated acute hematogenous osteomyelitis but may also be seen as sequelae of trauma (war injuries). This condition is characterized by areas of devitalized bone/soft tissue (sequestra), which serve as a nidus for recurrent episodes of infection. The periosteal response (involucrum) serves to...
