Talar Fractures

Three case studies of fractures are presented that demonstrate the potential morbidity that these injuries can cause as well as the acceptable outcomes if treated appropriately. Two of the cases are talar fracture dislocations; the third is an osteochondral fracture of the talus. The importance of early treatment with open reduction and internal fixation is demonstrated. Success following surgical intervention in a nonhealed osteochondral fracture of the talus is also demonstrated. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 91(8): 415-421, 2001)

Type Of Fracture

An osteochondral fracture of the metatarsal head is generally the result of direct trauma and is associated with additional proximal fractures of the medially adjacent metatarsals. An isolated osteochondral fracture of the metatarsal head is extremely rare, with only 10 published case reports. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed in 6 of 10 cases and in 2 of 4 chronic cases, each with different implants previously. The mechanism of injury was considered to be shear force in 5 of the reported cases. It is difficult to achieve and maintain reduction in these cases, and the best method for treatment of this type of fracture is unclear. We report a case of an isolated chronic osteochondral fracture of the third metatarsal head in a 14-year-old boy. The boy reported pain in his third metatarsophalangeal joint on dismounting from a bicycle 2 months prior to presentation. He could play soccer at first; however, the pain worsened after running long distances. Therefore, he was referred to our department. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an osteochondral fracture of the metatarsal head without Freiberg’s disease. We achieved a good result 12 months postoperatively by using open reduction and internal fixation with 2 bioabsorbable thread pins. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level IV: Case study

Fracture Dislocations

We reviewed 20 cases of chronic dorsal fracture-dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint, with a mean follow-up period of 74 months. In patients without comminuted palmar fragments, open reduction and internal fixation or osteotomy of the malunited fragment provided good results. In treating patients with damaged articular cartilage or with comminuted palmar fragments by palmar plate arthroplasty, poor results were obtained because of secondary osteoarthritic changes.

Joint Treatment

Injuries to the Lisfranc complex range from purely ligamentous disruptions to fracture-dislocations of the tarsometatarsal joint. Treatment options include closed/open reduction with percutaneous pinning, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and primary arthrodesis. We present a ligament reinforcement technique utilizing a flexible fixation device for the treatment of ligamentous Lisfranc injuries. Level of Evidence: Level V, expert opinion.

Sydney Australia

Severe laryngeal trauma is rare in the civilian environment and requires appropriate and timely surgical intervention. We report a case from Sydney, Australia, which was managed with open reduction and internal fixation of the larynx with resorbable plates. The use of resorbable plates for operative fixation of the larynx has rarely been reported in literature but may be a viable alternative.

The Mean

To clarify the factors affecting functional results of fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), 60 patients, including 38 patients with a dorsal fracture-dislocation and 22 with a pilon fracture, were analysed. The mean ratio of articular surface involvement was 48.5% and a depressed central fragment existed in 75.3% of the cases. ORIF was performed in 47 patients through a lateral approach using Kirschner wires and in 13 through a palmar approach using a plate or screws. The mean flexion, extension and range of motion (ROM) of the PIP joint was 89.5°, 11.5° and 78.0°, respectively. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that a delayed start of active motion exercise after surgery, elderly age and ulnar ray digit were factors affecting functional outcomes. Although ORIF allows accurate restoration of the articular surfaces, an early start of motion exercise is essential for good results.
