Tibiofibular Joint

Introduction. Dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint is a rare injury. It occurs during a sports activity that includes rough twisting movements of the bent knee. The role of the proximal tibiofibular joint is to reduce torsional loads to the ankle, to distribute the bending moment of the outer side of tibia, and transfer the vertical load while standing. In the literature there is no larger series; only several cases of the proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation treated by different methods have been published so far. Case Report. A 23-year-old male soccer player sustained an injury after he had joined the game without previous warming-up. He fell on his right side because of a sudden change of direction while his foot was fixed to the base. He felt a severe pain and had a sensation as if something had snapped in his right knee. Pain and swelling at the head of fibula were found by physical examination, which, however, did not reveal any pain, swelling and instability of the ankle or peroneal nerve palsy. The x-ray showed anterolateral dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint, Ogden type II. Since manual reposition in general anesthesia failed, open reduction internal fixation was performed and proximal tibiofibular joint was transfixed with a screw. After the wound closure, the above-the-knee plaster cast was applied. The screw was extracted six weeks later, full weight bearing was allowed and he started with physical therapy. Four months after the injury he returned to sports activities. On the follow- up one year after the injury he had the full range of motion of the knee, no complains, and continued with active soccer playing. X-ray showed no signs of arthrosis of the proximal tibiofibular joint. Conclusion. The proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation may be the cause of the chronic pain of the knee so it has to be taken into account when making differential diagnosis in case of the pain at the lateral side of the knee. The key for making the accurate diagnosis is the technically correct X-ray of the injured knee compared with the opposite one, showing the displacement of fibular head. If manual reposition fails, open reduction internal fixation and screw transfixation of the proximal tibiofibular joint allow good results and fast return to sport activities.

Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: The first tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint is very crucial for midfoot stability. To address its importance, retrospective analyses of treatment for the first TMT joint dislocation with Lisfranc injury was performed in a multi-center manner. Comparison of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and primary arthrodesis was conducted for the injury. Methods: This multi-center study was involved ten clinical institutions in different area of China. .From January 2003 to June 2015, 126 Lisfranc injuries with first TMT joint dislocation underwent surgical intervention. Of this group, forty one (32.5%) feet were first TMT joint dislocation only. Eighty five feet were first TMT joint dislocation and fractures. They were 76 males (60.3%) and 50 females (39.7%) with a mean age of 45.5 (range, 20-87) years. The duration from injury to surgery is 11.7 (range, 4-26) days. Two groups were divided by surgery methods as open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) group and primary arthrodesis group. Ninety two patients were performed by ORIF, while primary arthrodesis group including 34 cases. Outcome measures included clinical examination, radiographs, AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores, visual analogue scale (VAS) and SF-36 scores. Complications and revision rate were analyzed as well. Results: 126 patients were followed up for 29.5 months. At 1.5 years postoperatively, the AOFAS score was 79 and 85 in ORIF group and arthrodesis group.The VAS score was 3.1 separately in two groups.The mean Physical Functioning sores of SF-36 was 80.3 points and 83.5• points. The Bodily Pain score of SF-36 was 76.1 points and 84.6• points.Redislocation of first tarsometarsal joint were observed in 16 cases among ORIF group.36 patients in ORIF group had pain in midfoot, eight of them had persistent pain with the development of deformity or osteoarthrosis.No redislocation and no hardware failure was identified in arthrodesis group Conclusion: Primary stable arthrodesis of the first ray gives a better short and medium term outcome than open reduction and internal fixation for Lisfranc injury with the first ray dislocation. Possible complication and revision could be avoided by primary arthrodesis for dislocated first ray injuries.

Low Incidence

A 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with an isolated proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation (PTJD) after an accident during gymnastic exercise. The dislocation has a low incidence rate and is often missed in the emergency department as physical and radiology signs are subtle. Treatment consists of closed or open reduction and immobilisation. When it is not recognised it is associated with significant peroneal nerve injury.

Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Retrospective analyses of treatment for the first tarsometatarsal joint dislocation with Lisfranc injury. Comparison of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and primary arthrodesis was conducted for the injury. Methods: This was a multi-center study, involving nine clinical institutions in different area of China. .From January 2003 to June 2015, 126 Lisfranc injuries with first tarsometatarsal joint dislocation underwent surgical intervention. Of this group, 41 (32.5%) feet were first tarsometarsal joint dislocation only. 85 feet were first tarsometarsal joint dislocation and fractures. They were 76 males (60.3%) and 50 females (39.7%) with a mean age of 45.5 (range, 20-87) years. The duration from injury to surgery is 11.7 (range, 4-26) days. Two groups were divided by surgery methods as open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) group and primary arthrodesis group. Ninety two patients were performed by ORIF, while primary arthrodesis group including 34 cases. Outcome measures included clinical examination, radiographs, AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores, visual analogue scale (VAS) and SF-36 scores. Complications and revision rate were analyzed as well. Results: 126 patients were followed up for average of 29.5 months．At 1.5 years, the mean AOFAS Midfoot score at latest follow-up was 79 points and 85 points separately in ORIF and arthrodesis group（P<0.05）. The VAS score was 3.1and 2.2 separately（P<0.05）.The BP score of SF-36 was 76.1 points and 84.6 points（P<0.05). Five patients in the open-reduction group had loosen or broken hardware. Redislocation of first tarsometarsal joint were observed in 16 cases among ORIF group. 36patients in ORIF group had pain in midfoot, eight of them had persistent pain, and they were eventually revised with arthrodesis. Two patients had painful hardware and the symptom disappeared after removal of the hardware. No redislocation and no hardware failure was identified in arthrodesis group. Conclusion: Primary stable arthrodesis of the first ray gives a better short and medium term outcome than open reduction and internal fixation for Lisfranc injury with the first ray dislocation. Possible complication and revision could be avoided by primary arthrodesis for dislocated first ray injuries.

Objective. The study aims to compare minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture in elder patients. Method. PubMed, Medline, EMbase, Ovid, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wangfang, and VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals were searched to identify all relevant studies from inception to October 2016. Data were analyzed with Cochrane Collaboration’s Review Manage 5.2. Results. A total of 630 patients from 8 publications were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that MIPO was superior to ORIF in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture in elder patients. It was reflected in reducing blood loss, operation time, postoperative pain, or fracture healing time of the surgery and in improving recovery of muscle strength. Concerning complications, no significant difference was seen between MIPO and ORIF. Conclusion. The MIPO was more suitable than ORIF for treating proximal humeral fracture in elder patients.
