TIB FIB FRACTURE CLASSIFICATION FULL

The deltoid ligament joins the medial malleolus to the talus, calcaneus and navicular bones. The talus is joined to the calcaneus by the calcaneo-fibular ligament. The anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments join the fibula to the talus. The distal fibula is joined to the distal tibia by the anterior and posterior inferior tibiofibular ligaments, an inferior transverse ligament and a syndesmosis ligament. The joint capsule and the surrounding ligaments stabilise the ankle. The distal fibula is known as the lateral malleolus. The distal tibia has a prominent medial malleolus and a less prominent posterior malleolus. This joint allows inversion and eversion of the ankle. The subtalar joint - articulation is between the talus and calcaneus.This joint allows dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the ankle. The true ankle joint (tibiotalar joint) - articulation is between the lower end of the tibia, the malleoli and the body of the talus.See the separate Ankle Injuries article for the assessment of ankle fractures and sprains (this details the history, examination, investigation and differential diagnosis of ankle injuries and the management of ankle sprains and strains). However, obvious clinical deformity (ie dislocation) or injuries with neurovascular compromise of the foot are an orthopaedic emergency, for which immediate reduction is required (see 'Management' section, below). Many ankle injuries are managed conservatively.

The ankle takes the full weight of the body and is subject to considerable force, particularly in running and jumping. This allows locomotion and balance on both level and uneven ground. The ankle is a complex joint that is capable of a wide range of movement: flexion, extension, inversion and eversion as well as a combination of these movements. Tibiofibular joint - fibrous joint held together by ligaments (syndesmosis joint).Ankle joint - where the tibia, fibula and talus meet.

$tib fib fracture classification$

Two joints are involved in ankle fractures: An ankle fracture is a break in one or more of the bones of the ankle joint - the tibia, fibula and talus.
