Q

Talar dome fractures management

A
  • Types 1 & 2: 4 wks. NWB cast; 2 – 4 wks. wb cast

Q

Medial malleolar fractures

A
  • Stress
  • Traumatic
  • Increased potential for non-union
  • For the athlete: ORIF (increased incidence of healing, more rapid return to activity)

Q

Peroneal tendinitis management continued

A
  • Immobilization: 4 – 6 wks
  • Injectable corticosteroid (phosphate into sheath, 2 – 4 wks immobilization)
  • MRI
  • Surgical debridment / repair

Q

Peroneal tenosynovitis

A
  • Inflammation and thickening of the synovial tendon sheath often with impingement (stenosis)
  • History of chronic tendinitis / trauma
  • MRI / tenogram diagnostic
  • Injectable corticosteroid / immobilization
  • Surgical debridment required

16
Q

Longitudinal split tear

A
  • Most common type of “rupture”
  • May be acute or chronic
  • May be asymptomatic: a common incidental finding on MRI
  • Conservative mgt: Immobilization 6-8 weeks followed by physical therapy
  • Surgical mgt: Tubularization
17
Q

Peroneal dislocation

A
  • Secondary to rapid ankle dorsiflexion from a plantarflexed position
  • Most common in skiing
  • Secondary to ankle inversion injury is uncommon
  • Subluxation significant only if painful
18
Q

Peroneal dislocation management

A
  • Immobilization: generally poor results in athletes
19
Q

Peroneal dislocation surgical management

A
  • Fibular rotational osteotomy
  • Calcaneofibular ligament with bone block
  • Groove – deepening procedures (preserve articular surface)
  • Retinacular repair
20
Q

Lateral talar process fracture

A
  • AKA: “Snowboarder’s ankle” (not the most common injury in snowboarding)
  • Acute lateral ankle / foot pain
  • Dorsiflexion with inversion or eversion
  • Non-displaced: 6-8 wks immob.
  • Displaced: ORIF
  • Mechanism: inversion / eversion
21
Q

Anterior ankle impingement

A
  • Insidious – onset anterior ankle pain
  • Pain with deep anterior ankle palpation
  • Pain with forced ankle dosiflexion
  • Equinus
  • Radiographic spurring
  • Stress – lateral radiograph
  • MRI for soft – tissue impingement
22
Q

Anterior ankle impingement management

A
  • Heel lift
  • Injectable corticosteriod
  • Massage / ultrasound
  • Arthroscopic debriment
23
Q

Posterior ankle pain

A
  • Posterior impingement
  • Os trigonum
  • Shepard’s fracture
  • Retrocalcaneal bursitis
  • Pre-achilles bursitis
  • Flexor hallucis injury
24
Q

Posterior ankle impingement

A
  • Impingement of the posterior ankle / subtalar joint
  • Soft tissue impingement most common
  • Retrocalcaneal bursitis
  • Pain with releve: ankle plantarflexion
  • Pain with rapid forced plantarflexion
25
Q

Posterior ankle pain management

A
  • Injectable corticosteriods
  • Joint mobilization
  • Dexamethasone iontophoresis
  • Surgical debridment
26
Q

Os trigonum

A
  • Accessory ossicle
  • Common cause of insidious - onset posterior ankle pain
  • Fractured posterior lateral process: does it matter ?
  • Injectable corticosteroid / immobilization / surgical excision
27
Q

Flexor hallucis longus tendinitis

A
  • AKA “Dancers tendinitis”
  • Common cause of posterior-medial ankle pain
  • Pathology at the fibro-osseous synovium-line groove created by the talar processes
  • Frequently post-traumatic
  • MRI useful
28
Q

Dancer’s tendinitis management

A
  • Dexamenthasome iontophoresis
  • Strengthening
  • Immobilization
  • Injectable corticosteroid
  • Surgical debridment
