Introduction: Ankle fractures represent a significant portion of orthopedic injuries, with fracture dislocations tending to have worse outcomes. Logsplitter fractures represent a subset of fracture dislocations in which the talus is axially wedged in the tibiofibular joint. We aim to comprehensively investigate and report on the complications and functional outcomes associated with ankle fracture-dislocations.

Introduction: As illustrated by the "Walker Dip," there is growing concern regarding the lack of combat casualty care during peacetime. Surgical volume and case complexity are paramount for training and skill sustainment. We sought to quantify the recent orthopedic trauma surgical case load of all military orthopedic surgeons across the Military Health System (MHS).

A CT-based method for objectively assessing fracture severity was previously developed and validated to address poor reliability in existing subjective fracture classification systems. The method involved quantifying the energy involved in creating a fracture. However, clinical utility of the method was hindered by reliance upon an intact contralateral CT and lengthy analysis time (8-10 h).

Pilon fractures typically result from high-energy trauma combined with axial compression. The surrounding soft tissues are often severely compromised, complicating treatment. These fractures are best classified according to the Working Group for Osteosynthesis Issues/Orthopedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification system.
