This case report presents a three-year follow-up of a young male with bilateral hindfoot fractures due to a high-energy road traffic accident, resulting in a comminuted open calcaneal fracture on the left and an open fracture-dislocation of the right talus. Staged reconstruction was performed, including initial debridement, temporary cement spacers, and subsequent fixation with femoral head allografts (FHAs). The right foot underwent a tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion, and the left foot received a double arthrodesis.

Objective: Calcaneal fracture fixation remains a challenging procedure in orthopedics, with computational tools increasingly aiding in the optimization of preoperative planning. To compare the biomechanical stability of intramedullary fixation and locking plate fixation for Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures by three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical application.
Methods: The Computed Tomography (CT) images were segmented using Mimics software (Materialise NV, Belgium) to identify the region of interest based on threshold segmentation.

Introduction: Pilon fractures are potentially limb-threating injuries. Staged soft tissue damage control is described, but actual practices are unknown. We report a national trainee collaborative evaluating how tibial Pilon fractures are acutely managed.

Background: Temporary ankle-spanning circular fixation aims to provide osseous stability while (1) allowing access to and recovery of the traumatized soft-tissue envelope and (2) facilitating safe, comfortable, and clinically relevant cross-sectional imaging for surgical planning. It is most commonly utilized in a "span-scan-plan" treatment strategy in cases of peri-articular fractures around the ankle. Conventional monolateral fixators are prone to morbidity at the half-pin sites in the foot and variation in construct stability.

Acute sprains and ruptures of the lateral ankle ligaments are the most common injuries of the ankle joint. They are often related to sporting activity and predominantly affect individuals under 40 years old. Lateral ligament injuries occur due to supination trauma.

We describe a rare case of metastatic prostate carcinoma to the heel. Bone scintigraphy revealed high uptake simulating fractures. Standard PSMA PET/CT was negative.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: 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.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to identify significant differences in the clinical outcomes of patients who sustained a low energy trauma resulting into an ankle fracture-dislocation, treated with invasive (external fixation or skeletal traction) and conservative damage control procedures (closed reduction in plaster).
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective comparative study including 52 patients with low energy ankle fracture-dislocation, surgically treated between January 2015 and January 2017. Patients included in this study had a minimum 24 months follow-up (range 24-36 months).

Background: Ankle fractures are common injuries with substantial implications for patient mobility and quality of life. Traditional imaging methods, while standard, have limitations in detecting subtle fractures and distinguishing them from complex bone structures. The advent of 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (3D-CNNs) offers a promising avenue for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of ankle fracture diagnoses.

Introduction: Fractures involving the ankle joint typically manifest as bimalleolar or trimalleolar fractures, with isolated posterior malleolus fractures (IPMF) representing a rare subset, comprising 0.5-4 % of cases. Due to its rarity and subtle clinical presentation, IPMF poses unique diagnostic and management challenges.
