“…Моделирование повреждения "mallet fracture" на трупной кисти Segond (1904) Следует отметить, что P. Segond является автором еще одного эпонима перелома. В 1879 г. он впервые описал небольшой отрывной перелом наружного края проксимального отдела большеберцовой кости (чуть ниже плато), который часто сочетается с повреждением связок коленного сустава [16,17,18]. В книге Titres et travaux scientifiques, изданной в Париже в 1904 г., P. Segond описал в одной главе и особый вид перелома большеберцовой кости, и необычный перелом дистальной фаланги пальца кисти.…”

Background. For several centuries, eponyms have been a convenient means of communication between clinicians. For some eponyms among modern surgeons, controversy over authors priority continues. There is still no consensus on the so-called mallet fracture. In domestic and foreign literature, there are several authors names for this fracture I.F. Bush fracture, W. Busch fracture, P. Segond fracture. The aim of the study is to collect the most reliable information about the history of the eponym of avulsion of the distal phalanx of the fingers at the site of attachment of the extensor tendon, the so-called mallet fracture, to determine and prove the priority of the true author of the eponym. Materials and Methods. A search for information was carried out in domestic and foreign publications, manuals on traumatology and orthopedics, periodicals, Internet resources (eLIBRARY, PubMed, Scholar Google). Results. The list of likely authors of mallet fracture includes three surgeons: Ivan F. Busch (17711843, Russia), Paul Ferdinand Segond (18511912, France), Karl David Wilhelm Busch (18261881, Germany). When analyzing primary sources, it was found that for the first time mallet fracture was described by the French surgeon Paul Ferdinand Segond in 1880. This fact was also recognized by the German surgeon W. Busch, who a year later published an article on this damage. In the well-known Guide to the Teaching of Surgery by Ivan F. Bush, published in the early 19th century, information about a fracture of the distal phalanx of the finger at the site of attachment of the extensor tendon was not found. Conclusion. Taking into account the publications known to date, mallet fracture should be called the Segond fracture.

Background Distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury is often associated with ankle fractures in adults. Injuries to the anterior/posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL/PITFL) may present as a mid-substance tear or as an avulsion at insertion. Tibial and fibular avulsion of the AITFL is known as Tillaux fracture and Wagstaffe fracture, respectively. Tibial avulsion of the PITFL is referred to as a Volkmann fracture, and fibular avulsion of the PITFL is still undefined and has not been reported yet. The aim of this study is to summarize the incidence of these four avulsions, that is, tibial and fibular avulsions of the AITFL and PITFL. Method Radiography and computed tomography (CT) imaging data of all adult patients with ankle fractures treated at our hospital between November 2010 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All ankle fractures were classified according to the Weber-AO and Lauge-Hansen classification systems by two experienced radiologists and two surgeons. The incidence of the four avulsions of the AITFL/PITFL was determined. Results In total, 1,770 ankle fractures in 1,758 patients were included in this study. The total incidence of avulsions at the four insertions of the AITFL/PITFL (occurring at one, two, or three insertions) was found to be 26.3% (465/1,770). Volkmann fracture had the highest incidence (19.9%, 353/1,770), and it was followed by Tillaux fracture (5.3%, 93/1,770), Wagstaffe fracture (3.3%, 59/1,770), and fibular avulsion of the PITFL (0.5%, 8/1,770). It is noteworthy that fibular avulsion of the PITFL has been reported here for the first time. The incidence of avulsion at one insertion was 23.6% (418/1770) and 2.7% (47/1770) at multiple insertions. Conclusion In adult ankle fractures, avulsion occurs at the four insertions of the AITFL/PITFL in more than 25% of patients. The tibial insertion of the PITFL had the highest incidence of avulsion among the four insertions, while the fibular insertion of the PITFL had the lowest. The four types of avulsions can be isolated or in association with other avulsions. Future research studies on these four types of avulsion fractures would help in accurate diagnosis, decision-making and treatment of ankle Syndesmosis injuries. Level of evidence Level III, retrospective cohort study.
