(See also: Antiglide Plate) Discussion position of plate is dependent on level of frx, condition of overlying soft tissues, and the extent of comminution; Posteriorly Positioned Plate see antiglide plate: allows use of a thicker, stronger plate; less risk of wound slough; irritate peroneal tendons; distal screws obtain better purchase, since they engage a thicker part … Read more

– Discussion: – select appropriately sized 6.5 mm or 7.0 mm canulated screw (threads must cross the frx site); – consider direction of maximal deformity and displacment; – guide wire insertion (for cannulated screw insertion); – K wire is inserted from deep w/ in sinus … Read more
– See: Equinovarus: – Discussion: – most common problem; – in those w/ diplegia, it is bilateral & almost always flexible in child under three years; – diff dx: toe walking – Exam: – it is essential that the ankle and hindfoot be held in varus while … Read more
– Treatment Considerations: – it is essential to reduce the dislocation in the ER, so as to avoid tenting of the skin over the anterior tibia; – w/ a trimalleolar frx-dislocation, consider a posterior approach using an antiglide plate and fixation of the posterior malleolar fragment (which can be accomplished through … Read more
