Distal Tibial Fractures

Definition

Metaphyseal

Extra-articular

Intra-articular Extension

Patella Baja

Aetiology

Congenital

Acquired

- trauma

- post ACL reconstruction / TKR

- chronic quadriceps rupture

Issues

Decreases ROM

Associated with early OA of the PFJ

Diagnosis

Blackburne-Peel ratio at 30 degrees flexion

Definition

Facet joint dislocations secondary flexion distraction injury

Epidemiology

10%

Stages

1. Unifacet subluxation - interspinous process widening

2. Unifacet dislocation - 25% anterolisthesis

3. Bifacet dislocation - 50% anterolisthesis

4. Complete vertebral translation - 100% anterolisthesis

Unilateral Facet Joint Dislocation

Mechanism

1. Direct lateral blow to patella

- usually with knee partly flexed and quadriceps relaxed

2.  Indirect low energy injury

Definition

Instability in at least 2 planes

- postero-inferior

- antero-inferior

- antero-postero-inferior

Epidemiology

Recognised as a common problem 

- often misdiagnosed

Most patients athletic

Concept

Femur

- removal of femoral head cartilage

- resurfacing with metal

- cemented / uncemented

Acetabulum

- standard technique

Bearing surface

- metal on metal

Indications

Relatively young man (40 - 50)

OA
