Podcast 2024: IFFAS Award Finalist: Tibialis Posterior Tendon Entrapment in Posterior Malleolar and Pilon injuries of the ankle: A retrospective analysis

Description At AOFAS Annual Meeting 2023 in Louisville, Kentucky, host Nicholas Strasser, MD, discusses with Lyndon William Mason, MRCS, the IFFAS Award Finalist paper Tibialis Posterior Tendon Entrapment in Posterior Malleolar and Pilon injuries of the ankle: A retrospective analysis. Summary The Tibialis Posterior tendon (TPT) is the only tendon to come into contact with the distal tibia and is therefore at greatest risk of injury in fractures of the distal tibia. Although TPT injury has been reported rarely with injuries around the ankle they often have been missed and present late. The aim of this paper was to analyse the rate to TPT entrapment in fractures involving the posterior tibia i.e. Pilon (PLM) and posterior malleolar fractures (PMF). Course Objectives At the conclusion of this podcast, you will be able to: Recognize risk factors for Tibialis Posterior tendon (TPT) entrapment in posterior tibial fractures. Assess the occurrence and severity of TPT entrapment in Pilon and posterior malleolar fractures via CT analysis. Highlight the importance of preoperative imaging to address TPT entrapment in fracture management.
