Objective: To explore clinical effect of adult ankle fracture with Tillaux-Chaput fracture block.
Methods: From January 2014 to December 2018, 15 patients with adult ankle fracture with Tillaux-Chaput fracture block were performed opertaion, including 9 males and 6 females, aged from 27 to 67 years old with an average of (45.6±14.3) years old, 8 patients on the left side and 7 patients on the right side. Fracture healing and complications were observed, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS) was used to evaluate recovery of ankle joint function.
Results: All patients were followed up for 18 to 70 months with an average of (38.1±9.9) months. The incisions healed well at stageⅠ. X-ray reexamination showed all fractures healed well without loosening or breakage of internalfixation. Two patients had symptoms of superficial peroneal nerve injury and recovered gradually after nerve nourishing therapy. Three patients mainfested slightly limits of flexion and extension of ankle joint. AOFAS score of ankle and hind foot at the latest follow up was (85.6±7.9), 9 patients got excellent results, 4 good and 2 fair.
Conclusion: Fix Tillaux-Chaput fracture block with dentate steel plate has advantages of easy operation, stable fixation, and is beneficial to recovery of ankle function. It is not necessary to fix tibiofibular syndesmosis with screws.

What is the frequency of anterior syndesmosis injury in posterior malleolus fracture?
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics and Rheumoorthopedics, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Prof. Adam Gruca Orthopedic and Trauma Teaching Hospital, Konarskiego 13, Otwock, 05-400, Poland.
Background: Posterior malleolus fractures may be fixed to restore syndesmosis stability. However, these fractures are often accompanied by ruptures of other ligaments that stabilize the syndesmosis. This study investigates the frequency of anterior syndesmosis injury in posterior malleolus fractures and its effect on rotational stability.

Concomitant Factors Associated With Tillaux-Chaput Fractures in Adults: A Case-Control Study.

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.

Article Synopsis
- Tillaux-Chaput tubercle fractures are uncommon in adults and typically occur in adolescents, often linked to growth plate separation and can go undiagnosed, impacting ankle function.
- A case was reported of an adult with a right ankle injury from a traffic accident, where initial exams missed a rupture of the peroneus tertius muscle, leading to restricted foot movement.
- Surgical repair of the muscle was performed after proper diagnosis and, through this case, the report aims to enhance awareness and improve treatment outcomes for similar injuries in adults.
Injury to the posterior malleolus in Maisonneuve fractures.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
June 2024
University Center for Orthopaedics, Trauma and Plastic Surgery, University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus at TU Dresden, Fetscherstrasse 74, 01307, Dresden, Germany.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the incidence and a complex pathoanatomy of posterior malleolus fractures in a Maisonneuve fracture.
Methods: The study included 100 prospectively collected patients with a complete clinical and radiological documentation of an ankle fracture or fracture-dislocation including a fracture of the proximal quarter of the fibula.
Results: A posterior malleolus fracture was identified in 74 patients, and in 27% of these cases it carried more than one quarter of the fibular notch.
