Objectives
• Classification of fractures
• Practice, practice, practice!
• This will NOT be:– Clinical exam– Management
![Page 3: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hip
• Classification:– Intracapsular
• Femoral head• neck
– Extracapsular• Intertrochanteric• Subtrochanteric• Greater/lesser
trochanter
![Page 4: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Hip
• AVN:– Injuries to medal
and lateral femoral circumflex arteries
– After fracture the synovial fluid will lyse blood clots and prevent capillary formation needed for new bone formation/repair
![Page 5: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Approach
• Shenton’s Line– Obturator foramen
to medial surface of the proximal femur
![Page 6: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Approach
• Normal and Reverse S– Medial and lateral
margins of the fem head and neck
![Page 7: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Approach

starting at the femoral head
![Page 8: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Femoral Neck Fractures
• Displaced (80%)– Shortened, rotated– Vascular structures
disrupted
• Nondisplaced (20%)– Subtle fractures
• Must use lines/trabec to see
• May be impacted – increased subcapital density
![Page 12: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

5. Separation:• base of the 1st and
2nd MT • 1st and 2nd
cuneiforms
***strongly suggestive of a subluxation
6. Fracture:• Cuboid• Cuneiforms• Navicular• MT shafts
***suggestive of Lisfranc

2 types of Lisfranc injuries
• Homolateral type:– Lateral displacement of
the 1st through 5th MT heads
• Divergent type:– The 1st (and occasionally
the 2nd) MT dislocates medially or stays fixed, while the more lateral metatarsals are displaced laterally

surfaces (60% of surface)
– Regions:• Body • Neck • Head
![Page 164: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/164.jpg)
Talar fractures
• Minor talar fractures:
– HEAD AND NECK:• Avulsion and chip
fractures of superior surface
– BODY:• Lateral, medial,
posterior body AND osteochondral of talar dome
• Require immobilization and referral to ortho for f/u
![Page 165: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)
Talar fractures
• Talar neck fractures– 50% of major talar
injuries.
– Mechanism:• extreme
dorsiflexion
– Hawkins classification
– Often associated fractures

Talar fractures
• Type 1: nondisplaced• Type 2: subtalar subluxation• Type 3: dislocation of the talar body (50% open #’s)
• Type 4: dislocation of the talar body & distraction of the
talonavicular joint.
Fracture type influences management & prognosis

Talar fractures
• Talar body fractures
– 23% of all talar fractures
• Ie posterior or lateral process fracture
– Major talar body fractures are uncommon
• usually axial loading
![Page 168: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/168.jpg)
Talar fractures
• Talar head fractures– Uncommon (5-10%)
– Compression transmitted through the talonavicular joint applied on a plantarflexed foot
![Page 169: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/169.jpg)
Talar fractures
• Management:– Major fractures
require ortho consult
• Outcomes:– Risk of AVN, OA, and
chronic pain

Case
• 18F playing soccer, tripped and twisted foot
• Not sure of how she twisted/landed

Navicular Fracture
• Classification:– Dorsal avulsion
• >50% of navicular #s • Eversion injury • Associated with deltoid
ligament injury• Minimal articular
involvement
– Tuberosity Fracture
• Eversion injury• Associated with
posterior tibialis tendon avulsion
![Page 173: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/173.jpg)
Navicular Fracture
• Classification:– Body Fracture
• Rare• Axial loading• Comminuted,
intraarticular
![Page 174: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/174.jpg)
Navicular Fracture
• Clinical– Pain on palpation– +/- pain on passive
eversion or active inversion
• Imaging– Standard foot views– +/- bone scan
![Page 175: Lower extremity xray rounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110102/56813b8f550346895da4bfd0/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)
Navicular Fracture
• Why do we care?– Significant risk of AVN
• Management:– Outpatient Ortho:
• Dorsal avulsion and tuberosity # with minimal articular involvement
• Immobilize 4-6 wks
– ED Ortho consult• Body#, displaced #, >20% of articular
surface involved
