VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED TO PASS!!!
What degree of talar tilt with reference to the contralateral side requires surgical
correction?
10 degrees
All of the following lateral ankle stabilizing procedures address one ligament except.
..
A. Lee and Evans
B. Watson Jones
C. Nilson
D. Christman Snook
Christman Snook and Elmslie address correction of the CFL and the ATFL. All the
other procedures listed address only the ATFL
Avulsion fracture of the tibia from anterior inferior tibial fibular ligament
Chaput-Tilleaux Fracture
Avulsion fracture of fibula from anterior inferior tibial fibular ligament
Wagstaff
Occurs because of a closure of the medial tibial physis before the lateral physis.
Tillaux Kleiger
Fracture of the posterior tibia (posterior malleolus) from the posterior inferior
tibiofibular ligament.
Volkmann's
Lauge Hansen Classification:
Rupture of lateral collateral ligaments or classic transverse avulsion fracture of
lateral malleolus. The fracture is transverse (horizontal) at or below the ankle joint
level.
Supination-Adduction Stage I
Lauge Hansen Classification:
, Page 2 of 15
With further force of talus, there is an abutment of talus against the medial malleolus
causing a short oblique fracture (classic vertical fracture of the medial malleolus).
Supination-Adduction Stage II
Lauge Hansen Classification
The tibial-fibular syndesmosis and syndesmotic ligaments are always intact in this
fracture pattern.
Supination-Adduction
Lauge Hansen Classification
Rupture of the deltoid ligament or transverse avulsion fracture of medial malleolus.
Pronation Abduction Stage I
Lauge Hansen Classification
Rupture of the anterior and posterior inferior tibial-fibular ligaments or avulsion of
small fragments of bone from tibial or fibula.
Pronation Abduction Stage II
Lauge Hansen Classification
Classic short oblique fracture of the lateral malleolus.
Pronation Abduction Stage III
Lauge Hansen Classification
Disruption of the anterior-inferior tibial-fibular ligaments or avulsion fractures of
Wagstaffe or Chaput-Tillaux
SER Type I
Lauge Hansen Classification
Classic spiral fracture of the lateral malleolus, beginning at the joint line. The
fracture line runs laterally from anterior inferior to superior posterior.
SER Type II
Lauge Hansen Classification
