2258 VII Imaging of the Musculoskeletal System E D F Figure 47-64, cont’d D to F, CT scanning was performed after closed reduction and casting to assess the degree of fracture displacement. D, Axial CT scan. The avulsion fracture of the anterolateral quadrant (sad face) resembles the juvenile Tillaux fracture (see Fig. 47-63A). The surrounding plaster cast causes no streak artifacts and helps to immobilize the patient’s ankle during scanning. E, Coronal CT scan. The black arrow points to the epiphysis fracture, running vertically in the sagittal plane (plane 1). The white arrow points to the physis fracture, running horizontally in the axial plane (plane 2). F, Sagittal CT scan. The arrow points to the physis fracture, running horizontally in the axial plane (plane 2). The arrowheads point to the metaphysis fracture, running obliquely vertically in the coronal plane (plane 3). These images clearly showed the surgeons that the closed reduction still had unacceptable displacement, and open reduction and internal fixation was performed the next day. After surgery, the patient was non–weight bearing in a cast for 4 weeks and was pain free after 1 week in a walking boot. Ch047-A05375.indd 2258 9/9/2008 5:34:53 PM
A B 47 Ankle and Foot 2259 47 Figure 47-65. CT scan of a 69-year-old patient transferred to our emergency department after having undergone nonsurgical reduction and casting of an open ankle fracture-dislocation. The patient was sent for CT to better visualize the fracture. A, In the axial plane, we recognize the head of the talus (h-Ta) by its articulation with the navicular (N), but the body of the talus behind the head is missing. Small collections of air, seen as black on CT, are scattered around the fracture fragments, indicating that this was an open fracture. B, The coronal plane shows no talus between the tibia (Ti) and calcaneus (Ca). C, The sagittal plane tells the whole story: the body of the talus (b-Ta) has been sheered off the head and posteriorly displaced behind the ankle mortise. C A B Figure 47-66. Development of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the talus after trauma in a 25-year-old who was transferred to our emergency department with the ankle already in a cast. A, Our initial casted lateral radiograph revealed a vertical fracture (arrowhead) through the body of the talus. Because of the risk of AVN with talus fractures, the patient was immediately taken to the operating room. B, Intraoperative radiograph reveals anatomic reduction of the fracture with two screws. No sclerosis is present in the talus. C, On a lateral radiograph obtained 8 weeks later, the body of the talus appears more sclerotic than the surrounding bones. D, Midsagittal CT scan obtained 5 days after the CT scan in part C revealed a broad band of sclerosis in the talar dome and body, characteristic of AVN. C D Ch047-A05375.indd 2259 9/9/2008 5:34:54 PM
