Outcome comparison of rotational ankle fractures: Supination external rotation versus pronation external rotation.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chonnam National University Hospital, Dong-gu, Gwangju, Republic of Korea.
Background: Ankle fractures are among the most common types of fractures in the orthopaedic field, and the Lauge-Hansen classification is commonly used to categorize rotational ankle fractures. This study evaluated and compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of surgically treated supination external rotation (SER) and pronation external rotation (PER) injuries of grades III or IV.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and enrolled 104 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for SER or PER injuries classified as Grades III or IV between January 2016 and December 2021, all performed at a single center.
Background: Radiological investigations are critical to diagnosis and treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases including detecting earliest degenerative changes (osteoarthritis (OA)) seen in patients with unstable ankle fractures managed surgically. Despite the high incidence of ankle OA, research into early detection using imaging remains sparse.
Objectives: To identify the incidence of OA on postoperative imaging in adults with unstable ankle fractures after a minimum follow-up of 3 years with a correlation to patient reported outcomes.
Concomitant Factors Associated With Tillaux-Chaput Fractures in Adults: A Case-Control Study.
Foot Ankle Int
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile.
Background: Tillaux-Chaput fractures (TCFs) consist of fractures of the anterolateral distal tibia. They rarely occur in isolation in adults. When TCFs are missed, there is a risk of chronic pain, instability, and ankle osteoarthritis.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative complications and outcomes of minimally invasive intramedullary fixation (IMF) versus plate fixation (PF) in the treatment of distal fibular fractures.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was performed from identifying all consecutive ankle fracture patients aged ≥18-years-old surgically managed between August 2017 to September 2022 at a tertiary care center with minimum 6 months clinical follow-up. Patients were grouped into those receiving intramedullary versus extramedullary fibular fixation.
Ankle syndesmotic ligaments avulsion fractures: incidence in adult population.

Article Synopsis
- Distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries commonly accompany ankle fractures in adults, often leading to specific avulsions named Tillaux, Wagstaffe, and Volkmann, with one being undefined.
- A study analyzed imaging data from 1,770 ankle fracture patients to assess the incidence of these avulsion fractures over a 12-year period.
- Results showed a total avulsion incidence of 26.3%, with the highest frequency being Volkmann fractures at 19.9%, followed by Tillaux (5.3%) and Wagstaffe (3.3%), while fibular avulsion of the PITFL was reported for the first time at 0.5%.
