The arcuate fracture: A descriptive radiographic study
Injury Aug 23, 2018
Cohen BH, et al. - Researchers examined plain radiographic morphology of arcuate fractures in order to identify patterns and help shape treatment algorithm for proximal fibula fracture. Using MONTAGE search software, they conducted a search of radiographic reports at a level 1 trauma center from 2014 to 2016 for the phrases “arcuate fracture”, “fibular head avulsion”, or “fibular head fracture”. Eleven (22.9%) pattern 1 fractures, six (12.5%) pattern 2 fractures, 31 (64.58%) pattern 3 fractures, were identified via assessments that have possible correlation with anatomical features and fracture mechanism. Findings thus display the heterogeneity of the size and displacement of the fracture fragments.
