Chop ar t f rac tu re Dr Ayush Goel and Dr Jeremy Jones et al.
A Chopart fracture is a fracture/dislocation of the mid-tarsal joint (Chopart joint) of the foot,i.e. talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints. The commonly fractured bones are the calcaneus , cuboid and navicular .
The foot is usually dislocated medially and superiorly as it is plantar flexed and inverted, usuallyas a result of high energy impact, e.g. fall from height or road traffic collision.
Where the foot is everted, lateral displacement occurs.
Etymology
It is named after Francois Chopart , French surgeon (1743-1795) Paris 1.

Plain f i lm
AP and lateral wrist x-rays usually suffice. The fracture appears extra articular, and usually proximal to the radioulnar joint. Dorsal angulation of the distal fracture fragment is present to avariable degree (as opposed to volar angulation of a Smith fracture ). There is also usually
impaction with resultant shortening of the radius. An associated ulnar styloid fracture is presentin up to 50% of cases.
Report checklist
In addition to noting the presence of a fracture a number of features should be sought andcommented upon:
fractureo degree of dorsal angulationo degree of impactiono degree and direction of displacemento location of the medial fracture line: does it involve the radioulnar jointo presence for intra-articular fractures
other fractureso ulnar styloido carpal bones
Treatment and prognos is
The vast majority of Colles fractures can be treated with closed reduction andcast immobilisation. The cast extends from below the elbow to the metacarpal heads and holdsthe wrist somewhat flexed and in ulnar deviation 4 - for those of you familiar with Australianrules football, this position is reminiscent of the the position adopted when holding a ball in
preparation for a kick. This cast is known as a Colles cast 4.
Open reduction and internal fixation should be considered when the fracture is unstable, and/orunsatisfactory closed reduction is achieved (e.g. >10 degrees dorsal angulation; >5 mmshortening; significant comminution) 1.
Complications include 1-3:
malunion resulting in dinner fork deformity median nerve palsy and post traumatic carpal tunnel syndrome reflex sympathetic dystrophy secondary osteoarthritis , more frequently seen in patients with intra-articular involvement EPL tendon tear
Etymology
Originally named by Abraham Colles (1773-1843) Irish surgeon, Dublin.

The Lauge-Hansen classification system is sometimes used for the classification of anklefractures. However, the Weber classification system is more often cited.
It uses 2 word descriptors. The first word describes the position of the foot, the second worddescribes the motion of the foot (talus) with respect to the leg.

Freiberg dis ease Dr Tim Luijkx and Dr Jeremy Jones et al.
Freiberg disease (also known as Freiberg infraction ) is osteochondrosis of metatarsal heads. Ittypically affects the 2 nd metatarsal head (the third and fourth may also be affected). It can be
bilateral in up to 10% of cases.
Epidemio logy
It is commoner in women aged 10-18 (male to female ratio of 1:3).
Clinical presentat ion
Clinically they present with pain (sometimes a painful limp), swelling and tenderness.
Pathophys io logy
The cause of Freiberg infraction is controversial and is probably multifactorial.
A traumatic insult in the form of either acute or repetitive injury and vascular compromise arethe most popular theories, and as it is more commonly seen in women particularly duringadolescence, high-heeled shoes have been postulated as a possible causative factor.
Histologically Freiberg infraction is characterised by collapse of the subchondral bone,osteonecrosis, and cartilaginous fissures 1.
Radiographic features
Plain f i lm
These can be split into early and late features:
Early
flattening and cystic lesions of the affected metatarsal head widening of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint

Galeazzi f ractu re-dis loc at ion Dr Frank Gaillard et al.
Galeazzi fracture-dislocations consist of fracture of the radius with dislocation of distalradioulnar joint and an intact ulna . A Galeazzi equivalent fracture is a distal radial fracture with adistal ulnar physeal fracture 3.
Epidemio logy
Galeazzi fractures are primarily encountered in children, with a peak incidence of 9-12 years of
age3
. In adults, it is estimated to account for ~7% forearm fractures4
.
Mechanism
Typically Galeazzi fracture-dislocations occur following a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH) with a flexed elbow.
Radiographic features
Galeazzi fractures are classified according to the position of the distal radius:
type I - dorsal displacement type I I - volar displacement
Plain f i lm
Plain films are usually sufficient for diagnosis and management planning, however goodquality orthogonal views are needed to correctly identify and characterise displacement. Featuresinclude:
radial shaft fractureo commonly at the junction of the middle and distal thirdo dorsal angulation
dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint radial shortening may occur and if greater than 10mm, suggests complete disruption of the interosseous
membrane
Report checklist
In addition to stating the presence of the radial fracture and distal radio-ulnar joint dislocation anumber of features should be sought and commented upon.

radial fractureso locationo angulationo degree of shortening (see above)
distal radioulnar joint dislocationo direction
Treatment and prognos is
These fractures are unstable and operative fixation is usually required to reduce and fix the radialfracture, and the arm is immobilised in pronation 4-5. The exact mode of fixation depends on thelocation of the radial fracture 5:
diaphysis - elastic nail metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction - plate and screw distal radius - K-wire
In Galeazzi equivalent fractures, ulnar physeal arrest is frequent, seen in 55% of cases 3.
Etymology
First described by Riccardo Galeazzi (1866-1952), an orthopaedic surgeon from Italy in 19341,4 .
Many people consider the Galeazzi and Piedmont fractures as the same injury. However, somestate that the latter is an isolate radial fracture without distal radioulnar dissociation.The Piedmont fracture was so named by the Piedmont Orthopaedic Society.

Hil l-Sach s les ion Dr Frank Gaillard et al.
A Hill-Sachs lesion usually results from recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with resultant posterolateral humeral head compression fracture as the humeral head comes to rest against theanteroinferior part of the glenoid. It is often associated with a Bankart lesion of the glenoid.
In addition to being acutely painful at the time of dislocation, it may promote future dislocation /subluxation due to the lever-like effect of the defect during external rotation 4.

Hill-Sachs lesions may be difficult to appreciate on x-rays, frequently requiring CT or MRI forfull characterisation. When a Hill-Sachs lesion is identified careful assessment of the anteriorglenoid rim and labrum should be performed to identify a potential Bankart lesion .
Plain f i lm
Best seen following re-location of the joint, and better appreciated on internal rotation views. Itappears as a sclerotic vertical line running from the top of the humeral head towards the shaft. Iflarge then a wedge defect may be evident.
CT and MRI
Both MRI and CT are very sensitive to this lesion, which appears as a region of flattening or awedge shaped defect (with bone marrow oedema on MRI acutely) seen involving the
posterolateral humeral head above the level of the coracoid. This is usually seen in the mostsuperior few slices, were the humeral head should be rounded. It is important to note that below
the level of the coracoid the humeral head normally flattens out posterolaterally (sometimestermed Pseudo-Hill-Sachs lesion ), and this should not be misinterpreted as a Hill-Sachs lesion2,4 .
Treatment and prognos is
The bony defect itself does not require treatment, however the associated glenohumeralinstability and often co-existent anterior labral injuries often do require surgical repair.

The bony defect can also be treated with bone grafting or placement of soft tissue within thedefect. This is generally reserved for large defects 6-7.
The Connolly procedure is performed by an open posterior approach and involves transferringthe infraspinatus with a portion of greater the tuberosity into the defect, and rendering the defect
extra-articular6-7
.
Alternatively soft tissue transfer can be performed arthroscopically 6.

Chauffeur f ractu re Dr Ayush Goel and Dr Jeremy Jones et al.
Chauffeur fractures (also known as Hutchinson fractures or backfire fractures) isan intraarticular fracture of the radial styloid process. The radial styloid is within the fracturefragment, although the fragment can vary markedly in size 3.
Mechanism
These injuries are sustained either from direct trauma typically a blow to the back of the wrist or
from forced dorsiflexion and abduction.
The former accounts for its name; trying to start an old-fashioned car with a hand cranksometimes resulted in the crank rapidly spinning backwards (backfire) out of the driver's graspand striking the back of the wrist 5.
The later occurs as the scaphoid forcibly impacts upon the radial styloid and can be consideredan avulsion fracture with the radiocarpal ligaments remaining attached to the radial styloid 7.
Radiographic features
Plain films usually suffice in the assessment of chauffeur fractures. Along with other distal radialfractures, the AP film can also be used to classify these fractures according to the Frykmanclassification of distal radial fractures . Chauffeur fractures are considered type III fractures.
Plain f i lm
The fracture extends proximally in a variably oblique direction (from essentially transverse toalmost sagittal) from the distal radial articular surface through the lateral cortex of the distalradius, thus separating the radial styloid from the rest of the radius 4-5. Although oftenthe fracture is undisplaced 5, depending how how sagittal the fracture orientation is, variable
proximal migration of the fracture occurs, with an articular step which comes into contact with
the scaphoid4.
A number of associated injuries are frequently encountered and may significantly impact onmanagement:
scapholunate dissociation: this is especially true when the fracture line involves the articlular surface nearthe scapholunate interval7
trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation

In addition to reporting the presence of the fracture a number of features should be sought and in
many instances commented upon as relevant negatives. fracture

Treatment and prognos is
Although these fractures are often undisplaced, they are relatively unstable and often benefitfrom percutaneous lag-screw fixation 6.
Etymology
It was originally named by Jonathan Hutchinson (1828-1913) who was a British surgeon. Itsother names derive from the typical occupation of people who sustained this injury due to directtrauma from starting a car with a crank. It is also known as backfire fracture or lorry driverfracture 1.
It is interesting to note that the word chauffeur comes from the french for s o m eo n e w h o
warms the car engine.

Jefferso n f rac tu re Dr Ayush Goel and Rishi Agrawal et al.
Jefferson fracture is the eponymous name given to a burst fracture of C1. It was originallydescribed as a 4 part fracture with double fractures through the anterior and posterior arches, but3-part and 2-part fractures have also been described.
Pathology
Mechanism
A typical mechanism of injury is diving head first into shallow water. Axial loading along theaxis of the cervical spine results in the occipital condyles being driven into the lateral masses ofC1. The Jefferson fracture is not normally associated with neurological deficet although spinalcord injury may occur if there is a retropulsed fragment .
Assoc ia t ions
50% are associated with other C-spine injuries 33% are associated with a C2 fracture 25-50% of young children have concurrent head injury vertebral artery injury5 extra-cranial cranial nerve injury6
Radiographic features
Plain f i lm
Radiographs will show asymmetry in the odontoid view with displacement of the lateralmass(es) away from the odontoid peg . A distance of greater than 6 mm suggests ligamentousinjury.
CT
CT demonstrates the fracture line which usually involves both the anterior and posterior arches.If there is injury to the transverse atlantal ligament , the atlantodens interval (ADI) increases. Thenormal ADI in the adult population is less than 3 mm; in paediatric populations, the normaldistance is less than 5 mm.

The fracture will not be seen as well as with CT. However, localised soft-tissue injury will beapparent. Pre-vertebral haemorrhage or oedema will identify injury at the level of C1/2.Ligamentous injury will also be demonstrated. A fat-sat T2 sequence is useful in the traumasetting to help distinguish abnormal soft-tissue injury from normal fat.
Treatment and prognos is
Jefferson fractures are typically treated conservatively (hard collar immobilisation) provided thetransverse atlantal ligament is considered intact (no widening of the atlanto-dens interval orintact ligament visualised on MRI).
In cases where the ligament is thought to be disrupted, the injury is considered unstable and moreaggressive management is usually required 7. This includes halo immobilisation, posterior C1-C2lateral mass internal fixation or transoral internal fixation.
His to ry and e tymology
Named by Sir Geoffrey Jefferson (1886-1961), neurosurgeon from the UK 4.

Jones fractures occur at the base of the fifth metatarsal .
Pathology
It is a transverse fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal, 1.5 to 3 cm distal to the proximaltuberosity at the metadiaphyseal junction, without distal extension.
Mechanism
The fracture is believed to occur as a result of significant adduction force to the forefoot with theankle in plantar flexion 5.
Radiographic features
Plain film / CT
A Jones fracture is located at the metadiaphyseal junction, approximately 2cm (1.5-3cm) fromthe tip of the 5 th metatarsal, and has a predominantly horizontal course. It should not extend
distally, nor should it extend to involve the articular surfaces.
Treatment and prognos is
In contrast to avulsion fractures, Jones fractures are prone to non-union (with rates as high as 30-50%) and almost always take longer than two months heal 2.
As displacement of the fracture can be increased with persistent weight bearing, immobilizationis important as part of the initial therapy, with a non-weight bearing cast for 6-8 weeks.
Internal fixation and even bone grafting may be required in cases of non-union, or where the
fracture is significantly displaced.
Etymology
It was first described by Sir Robert Jones in 1902 3.
