Fibula fractures
Weber Classification of fibula fractures
Arthroscope in lateral portal
Clear fat pad
Ensure can see entire dimensions of OCD
If fragment is displaced, reduce and pin with accessory K wire
Geometric measure of the closeness of the fit of the knee articulation
The ideal TKA maximises articular conformity while minimising axial constraint
Highly conforming / Fully congruent
- constant sagittal femoral radius
- large contact areas
- theoretical limitation of flexion to 120o due to posterior impingement of the tibial component
Non-anatomical bony block
- transfer of coracoid process through subscapularis
- dynamic anteroinferior musculotendinous sling
- provides subscapularis tenodesis
- preventing lower portion from displacing proximally as arm abducted
- when shoulder in vulnerable position abduction and ER
Adolescents & young adults
Usually between 12 - 21 years
Throwing athletes / gymnasts
Little Leaguer's Elbow
- combination of capitellar OCD and MCL injury
- a repetitive throwing injury / seen in pitchers
