Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
add text here relating to clinically relevant anatomy of the condition
Mechanism of Injury / Pathological Process[edit | edit source]
The Danis-Weber classification[1]
Type A is a transverse fibular fracture caused by adduction and internal rotation.
Type B, is caused by external rotation, itis shown as a short oblique fibular fracture directed mediolaterally upward from the tibial plafond.
There are two type C fractures: type C 1 is an oblique medial-to-lateral fibular fracture which is caused by abduction.
type C 2 fractures result from a combination of abduction and external rotation, producing more extensive syndesmotic injury and a higher fibular fracture.
In more simple terms Danis-Weber Classification:
The Danis-Weber classification system uses the position of the level of the fibular fracture in its relationship to its height at the ankle joint.
Type A: fracture below the ankle joint
Type B: fracture at the level of the joint, with the tibiofibular ligaments usually intact
Type C: fracture above the joint level which tears the syndesmotic ligaments. Media:Http://www.health-res.com/calcaneus-fracture-classification/ Follow this link for pictures :)
