Presentation and options in management of avulsion fracture fibular head: A prospective study of rare entity

Abstract: Introduction: Avulsion fracture of the fibular head is a rare entity. Significance of this entity is lies in association with injuries to the ligaments and neurovascular structures attached to it. Presentation of these injuries is quite variable. Management of this injury is still controversial in spite of various available fixation methods. We report various different presentation and options in management of this rarely reported injury. Material and method: A prospective, single centre study of six patients … Show more

“… 17 We used a lateral incision with sufficient skin bridge from the anteromedial incision to fix the arcuate fragment of the fibular head to avoid skin necrosis. Although numerous fixation options exist, 18 a cannulated screw with a static tension band wiring at 90° flexion provides a robust fixation for this avulsion fracture .…”
