Bosworth fracture-dislocation presents a challenge in ankle joint injuries owing to its irreducible nature, requiring open reduction in most cases. Reports on successful outcomes following closed reduction are limited, necessitating exploration into alternative treatment approaches. Herein, we report a case of Bosworth fracture-dislocation in a 39-year-old man, with radiographic evidence of posterior displacement of the distal portion of the proximal fibular fragment incarcerated behind the tibia.

Background Pilon fractures are infrequent and among the most challenging to manage. One reason is the extensive soft tissue injury surrounding the distal tibia. Second, the articular surface of the distal tibia with a complex fracture pattern needs anatomic reduction.

The objective of this clinical appraisal was to assess the clinical-radiological results of ankle deformity correction secondary to physeal injury, utilizing the methods based on the age of the child, site & severity of the deformity, remaining growth potential, condition of the soft tissue envelop and integrity of neurovascular status. Fifteen subjects ≤ 16 years of age, with angular deformities of the ankle secondary to physeal injury, were included. Deformities secondary to infection and pathological fractures were excluded.

Background: Managing wounds of the lateral malleolus is challenging owing to limited nearby tissues and possibly injured or inadequate vessels for free flaps, especially in case of underlying infections. Moreover, free flaps require specialized skills and are not suitable for every patient. Therefore, identifying reliable local alternatives is crucial.

To observe the activation strategies of the ankle muscles using surface electromyography (sEMG) during single-leg standing (SLS) and both-leg standing (BLS) on flat ground (FG), soft mat (SM), and BOSU ball (BB) surfaces. Thirty healthy young adults participated in the study. The muscle activities of the tibialis anterior (TA) and gastrocnemius medial (GM) were measured on the three surfaces during SLS and BLS.

Purpose: Lesions of the peroneal tendons are frequently overseen after ankle sprain. The symptoms consist of stress-dependent pain that extends from the inframalleolar to the proximal part along the course of the peroneal tendons as well as ankle instability and soft-tissue swelling. In case of unsuccessful conservative treatment, surgical therapy is recommended.

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle (PTOA) is frequently observed following a debilitating consequence of intra-articular ankle fractures. Numerous risk factors contribute to the pathogenesis of PTOA, including articular incongruity, joint malalignment, and concomitant soft tissue damage. Despite attempts to restore joint anatomy and manage soft tissues to avoid long-term complications after intra-articular ankle fractures, the incidence of PTOA remains markedly elevated.

Background: In distal forefoot defect, finding wound closure is challenging because of the distal site and small blood vessels involved. One possible resolution is the utilization of a metatarsal artery flap in a 'U-turn' design. This method offers several advantages, including its long length and a viable option for distal forefoot defect.

Background: Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a condition in which the tibial nerve (TN) (or its terminal branches) is compressed by the flexor retinaculum (FR) and the deep fascia of the abductor hallucis muscle at the tarsal tunnel, causing symptoms that negatively impact the patient's quality of life, including numbness, a sensation of a foreign object, coldness, and pain. FR release via microtrauma using needle-knife has proven to be effective in China and is widely used by clinicians. The traditional acupotomy, however, is the "blind knife" treatment, which cannot guarantee patient safety due to risk of injury to important structures, particularly the neurovascular bundle.

Background: Fixation of calcaneus through the sinus tarsi approach is increasingly popular due to the lower rate of wound complications. The use of postoperative CT provided a better evaluation tool than using plain radiography. Our objective of the present study is to evaluate the quality of fracture reductions by postoperative 3D CT scans after surgical intervention using the sinus tarsi approach and fixation with 3.

Bosworth fracture (BF) is a special type of locked ankle fracture-dislocation, characterized by displacement of a fragment of the fractured fibula from the fibular notch behind the posterior surface of the distal tibia. BF is a complex injury affecting multiple structures of the ankle joint, which is still frequently misjudged even today, potentially leading to severe complications. CT examination, including 3D reconstructions, should be the diagnostic standard in BF, as it provides a complete picture of the fracture pathoanatomy, most prominently the morphology of the frequently associated posterior malleolar fracture.

Introduction: The distal tibial nail (DTN) is a novel retrograde intramedullary nail used for distal tibial fracture stabilization. We investigated the clinical results of DTN use for distal tibial fractures and compared them with those reported in the literature on locking plates and antegrade intramedullary nails.
Materials And Methods: This multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study examined distal tibial fractures with AO/OTA classification 43 types: A1, A2, A3 or C1.

Purpose: Ankle sprains remain the most common soft tissue injury presenting to Emergency Departments. Recently, there has been increased awareness and reporting of deltoid ligament injuries in association with injuries to the lateral ligament complex as well as with fibula fractures. This article reviews the currently available literature on the anatomy of the deltoid ligament, clinical and radiological diagnosis of injuries to the deltoid ligament and treatment recommendations.

Lower extremity trauma can result in extensive soft tissue loss, which can require a staged multispecialty approach. Flaps can be an excellent choice for significant soft tissue loss. A variety of variables goes into the selection of a flap including understanding what the recipient site needs, available donor sites, nature of trauma, and utilization of indices to predict limb salvageability in order to strategically select the correct flap option.

Pediatric foot and ankle trauma includes a range of injuries affecting the lower extremities in children, typically aged from infancy to adolescence. These incidents can arise from various causes, including sports-related accidents, falls, and high-velocity injuries. Due to the dynamic growth and development of bones and soft tissues in pediatric patients, managing these injuries requires specialized knowledge and care.

Subtalar dislocations, ankle dislocations, and total talar dislocations are high-energy injuries. As such, there may be associated osseous or soft tissue injuries that can be diagnosed with advanced imaging such as computed tomography (CT) or MRI. With closed injuries, closed reduction may require sedation or general anesthesia, flexion of the knee to release the tension of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex, distraction is applied, the deformity is accentuated, then the deformity is corrected.

Introduction: The free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is commonly used to repair a large loss of soft tissue following a lower-limb injury. An issue to be managed is the choice of adequate recipient vessels when the tibial arteries result damaged. In this scenario, vein grafts can be interposed to connect a healthy recipient vessel to the ALT flap pedicle.

Introduction: The Bosworth fracture-dislocation is a rare injury originally described as an irreducible dislocation of a distal fibula fracture where the proximal fibular fragment becomes incarcerated behind the distal tibia. There have since been a few cases described of an intact distal fibula with dislocation and similar difficulties in closed reduction attempts, typically seen with associated injuries to the ankle or proximal fibula. Regardless of the specific fracture or dislocation pattern, closed reduction attempts have consistently failed in the significant majority of these cases, which can lead to complications including soft-tissue compromise, severe post-traumatic arthritis, compartment syndrome, avascular necrosis of the talus, and neurovascular compromise.
