Tibial Plateau

 

Schatzker Classification

 

I.  Lateral Spilt 

- seen in young patient

- lateral meniscus can be incarcerated in fracture

 

Tibial Plateau Schatzker 1

 

II.  Lateral Split Depression

- often seen in young patients with high energy injuries

- vary in severity

 

Technique

1.  Templating

 

Xray

 

Rotator Cuff Arthropathy

 

AP in plane of scapula

- template glenoid 

- most inferior screw is in thick bone of scapular axillary border

 

AP humerus

- size and fit of diaphyseal and metaphyseal humeral components

 

CT

HAGL

DefinitionHAGL Arthroscopy

 

Humeral Avulsion of Glenohumeral Ligament

 

Incidence

 

Bokor et al JBJS Br 1999

- 514 cases surgical treatment traumatic instability

- incidence 7.5%

- 25% associated SSC tear

- likelihood of HAGL if no Bankart or MDI 27%

 

External snapping hip

Causes

 

Most common

- fascia lata on greater trochanter

- iliopsoas on lesser trochanter

 

1.  Intra-articular structures

- labrum

- ligamentum Teres

- loose bodies

- synovial chondromatosis

- osteochondoma

 

2.  Extra-articular structures

- fascia lata on greater trochanter (common) 

Talar neck fractures

Epidemiology

 

Second most common  hindfoot after calcaneal fractures

 

Aetiology

 

Aviators Astragalus

 

Fall from height

- hyper-dorsiflexion injury

- neck of talus strikes the anterior tibia

 

Anatomy

 

More than half surface covered by articular cartilage

- medial articular wall straight

- lateral articular wall curves posteriorly

Plantar Fibromatosis

Definition

 

Fibrous proliferative lesion in plantar fascia

 

Epidemiology

 

Male, white, middle age

 

May arise in isolation

 

Association Dupuytren's Diathesis

- aka Lederhosen disease

 

Pathology

 

Proliferative Fibroblastic lesion

- May resemble fibrosarcoma histologically

 

Fracture

Epidemiology

 

Young men

 

Aetiology

 

FOOSH

- axial load, dorsiflexion and radial deviation

 

DISI occurs in ulna deviation

 

Herbert Classification

 

Type A    Stable acute fracture

 

A1 Tubercle
