Arthroscopy for anterolateral soft tissue impingement of the ankle joint.
Anterolateral soft tissue impingement of the ankle joint is a common consequence of ankle sprain due to excessive supination and adduction of the foot, injuries to the tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral malleolus fractures. ⋯ These results show that arthroscopic treatment of anterolateral soft tissue impingement of the ankle joint produces satisfactory early outcomes.

Case ReportsFree corticoperiosteal flap in the treatment of an infected bone defect of the tibia. A case report.
The treatment of septic bone defects represents a significant challenge in orthopaedic surgery. Non-vascularised cancellous bone grafts are very commonly used. In contrast, thin and malleable periosteal grafts have generally only been investigated in animal models. ⋯ The patient was able to return to his original occupation as a store manager. Stable internal fixation is an important precondition for successful treatment. The method described in this article can be considered for short defects when a conventional cancellous bone graft appears to be contraindicated.
