Introduction: Orthopedic surgeons have long acknowledged the difficulty of treating distal tibia and fibula fractures with posterior malleoli fractures in individuals with medical comorbidities due to a lack of inadequate blood supply. Aged Type 2 diabetic individuals, with distal tibia and fibula fracture with posterior malleoli fracture, are more prone to complications such as non-union, wound infection, and delayed bone healing. It is debatable whether surgical or non-invasive treatment is preferable for diabetic complex fractures.
Case Report: A 62-year-old male suffered a right distal tibia and fibula fracture with posterior malleoli fracture following an incidental fall followed by a hit over the iron rod. The patient was treated conservatively with POP for 6 weeks due to the patient's refusal of surgical management. Radiography after 6 weeks revealed features of non-union.
Conclusion: The Ilizarov external fixation with bone graft was planned later to treat the non-union distal tibia and fibula fracture with posterior malleoli fracture. About 18 months after the Ilizarov fixation radiography reviewed the features of the union and clinically also patient improved.

3D CT to 2D X-ray image registration for improved visualization of tibial vessels in endovascular procedures.
Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg

Purpose: During endovascular revascularization interventions for peripheral arterial disease, the standard modality of X-ray fluoroscopy (XRF) used for image guidance is limited in visualizing distal segments of infrapopliteal vessels. To enhance visualization of arteries, an image registration technique was developed to align pre-acquired computed tomography (CT) angiography images and to create fusion images highlighting arteries of interest.
Methods: X-ray image metadata capturing the position of the X-ray gantry initializes a multiscale iterative optimization process, which uses a local-variance masked normalized cross-correlation loss to rigidly align a digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) of the CT dataset with the target X-ray, using the edges of the fibula and tibia as the basis for alignment.

Introduction: During 280 years of studies of the anatomy of the distal tibiofibular articulation, there have arisen many unclear issues regarding the description of individual structures and their terminology. These historical inaccuracies were subsequently reflected in the clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: A literature search of original publications and historical sources was performed.
Osteotomies around the knee have a variety of indications, including pain reduction, functional improvement, knee joint stabilization, and articular cartilage preservation. Thorough preoperative planning is essential, including a determination of the precise location of any deformity (proximal tibia, distal femur, or both). High tibial osteotomies and distal femoral osteotomies can be performed in isolation, or jointly in the form of a double-level osteotomy, for correction of coronal and/or sagittal deformity of the knee.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of three surgical management strategies for pilon fractures, including primary external fixation with delayed plating, external fixation with minimal internal fixation, and single-stage open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plating.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 34 patients with complex intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia (AO-OTA type 43-C) treated between June 2018 and December 2019. Patients were managed surgically based on the local skin condition and swelling, employing either primary-stage external fixation with delayed plating (Group A), external fixation with minimal internal fixation (Group B), or single-stage ORIF with plating (Group C).
Primary components of MCT ketogenic diet are detrimental to bone loss associated with accelerated aging and age-related neurotoxicity in mice.

Medium chained triglycerides (MCT) ketogenic diet is being extensively investigated for its neuroprotective effects against adverse effects associated with aging and neurodegenerative disorders. Aging is a common risk factor for the development of both osteoporosis and neurological disorders. Hence, suppression of aging and age-related neurodegeneration might contribute to delaying skeletal aging.
