Materials and methods: Forty-six patients with Weber A and low Weber B displaced lateral malleolus fractures who underwent closed reduction and percutaneous internal fixation with an intramedullary, fully threaded, screw were retrospectively reviewed. A 3.5-mm, fully threaded, selftapping bone screw (stainless steel from Pelvic Set Synthes). The length of the screw varies between 100 mm and 120 mm, depending on the fracture location and pattern. Results: All fractures united within an average time to union of 8.2 weeks. In all patients the average time to full weight bearing was 6.8 weeks, whereas that in patients with isolated lateral malleolus fractures was 4.5 weeks. There were no deep wound infections or complaints of painful hardware. At latest follow-up, functional results were excellent in, 25 patients (54.3%) good in 20 (43.5%), fair in (2.2%). Conclusion: If reduction of the lateral malleolus fracture can be obtained in a closed fashion (with the aid of an image x-ray intensifier), we believe that fixation may be performed with an axial screw percutaneously. This technique is quick, safe and easy to do with less complication.展开更多

The tumor commonly occurs in long bones (proximal femur and tibia) and rarely in the spine, hands and feet. It presents with bone pain worsening at night and responds well to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is usually treated conservatively but sometimes with surgery if medical treatment fails. We present a case of 19-year-old girl, who presented with mild pain over lateral aspect of right ankle for 6 months duration. The pain was provoked by sporting activities, and was initially relieved by analgesics, until recently, hence her presentation. CT scan was done and showed a well-defined central nodule of bone. She had an open excisional biopsy, and the histology showed a diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. Post-operative healing was uneventful, the fracture united after 6 weeks and she was able to ambulate without any pain 3 months post-surgery.展开更多

Methods Thirty-one cases of patients with obsolete lateral malleolus joint sprain were selected. Jiexi （解溪 ST 41） were penetrated to Shenmei （申脉 BL 61）, and Yanglingquan （阳陵泉 GB 34） was applied. The needles were retained for 30 min, and the treatment was performed only once, with follow-up visit after 1 month. Results All the patients were cured after treatment, and without relapse on the follow-up visit after 1 month. Conclusion The clinical effect of acupuncture on the obsolete lateral malleolus joint sprain is remarkable.展开更多

This is a high velocity injury fracture and can be caused by forcible plantar flexion and inversion of the foot at the time of impact onto the ground. Here we reported such a case in a 35-year-old male patient who was treated by open reduction and fixation with a partially threaded screw and two K-wires for the navicular bone,and two interfragmentary screws with a one third tubular plate for the lateral malleolus. K-wires were removed 6 weeks after surgery followed by partial weight bearing. After 6 months, the patient can walk normally with minimal pain and swelling of the foot.展开更多
