Article Synopsis
- * Many complications can arise during ankle arthroscopy, particularly involving vessels and nerves, which are often hard to detect due to their deeper location.
- * The research found that using ultrasound mapping in addition to traditional marking techniques is a quick and safe way to lessen the risk of damage to these structures during surgery.
Background: Healing of tibia fractures occurs over a wide time range of months, with a number of risk factors contributing to prolonged healing. In this prospective, multicentre, observational study, we investigated the capability of FRACTING (tibia FRACTure prediction healING days) score, calculated soon after tibia fracture treatment, to predict healing time.
Methods: The study included 363 patients.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to verify the safety of a new technique for a posterior arthroscopic approach to the ankle. This technique was recently described in literature. The technique uses a modified posteromedial portal, a different way of introducing the instruments into the portal, and the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) as a landmark to work in the posterior compartment.
