New Therapy Option: Maisonneuve Fracture without Trans-syndesmotic Fixation
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Ankle fracture is one of the common injuries in orthopedic department, the Maisonneuve fracture is a specific type of ankle injury. This fracture is usually caused by rotational force. According to the Lauge-Hansen classification, it is a pronation and external rotation type injury, often resulting in inferior tibiofibular injury. Because it is extremely unstable, it is usually treated surgically. Operative treatment includes medial malleolus fixtion, reduction of the inferior tibiofibular joint and screw fixation. When the fibula fractured is without shortening or dislocation, it is still controversial if inferior tibiofibular joint needs fixation. The aim of this study is to introduce a new method-Maisonneuve without trans-syndesmotic fixation and analysis the follow-up result.
