30 paź 2024 · Ankle fractures are very common injuries to the ankle which generally occur due to a twisting mechanism. Diagnosis is made with plain radiographs of the ankle. Treatment can be nonoperative or operative depending on fracture displacement, ankle stability, presence of syndesmotic injury, and patient activity demands. 1.

Short overview. Basically there are three main types of ankle fractures. Weber classified them as: type A - infrasyndesmotic. type B - transsyndesmotic. type C - suprasyndesmotic. These fractures are identical to the fractures described by Lauge-Hansen as supination-adduction, supination-exorotation and pronation-exorotation.
A broken ankle can range from a stress fracture to a partial or complete displaced break of the ankle bone. Learn how ankle fractures are diagnosed and treated.
The ankle joint complex can be divided into three parts: the talocrural, talocalcaneonavicular and subtalar parts. The talocrural (TC) joint is formed by three bones and a complex ligamentous apparatus. The tibia, fibula and talus are connected by the collateral ligaments and the syndesmotic ligament complex.[1]
Anatomy. Three bones make up the ankle joint: Tibia — the shinbone. Fibula — the smaller bone of the lower leg. Talus — the small bone that sits between the heel bone (calcaneus) and the tibia and fibula. Illustration showing the three bones that make up the ankle joint: the tibia, fibula, and talus.
Ankle fractures range from simple injuries of a single bone to complex ones involving multiple bones and ligaments. Twisting with the foot planted on the ground and the body rotating around it is the most common mechanism of injury.
