Incisural Ankle Fracture ICD-9

  • 823.80(closed fracture of unspecified part of tibia)
  • 823.81(closed fracture lower leg NOS; fibula alone)
  • 823.82 (closed fracture lower leg NOS; fibula with tibia)
  • 823.90(open fracture of unspecified part of tibia)
  • 823.91(open fracture of unspecified part fibula alone)
  • 823.92 (Unspecified part, open, fibula with tibia)

Incisural Ankle Fracture Etiology / Epidemiology / Natural History

  • A form of transitional ankle fracture related to the asymmetric pattern of distal tibial physeal closure.
  • Thought to be caused by external rotation forces.

Incisural Ankle Fracture Anatomy

  • Fragment is avulsed by the intraosseous ligament.

Incisural Ankle Fracture Clinical Evaluation

  • Pain and deformity in the ankle, degree dependent on fracture severity.
  • Evaluate skin integrity, swelling, and neurovascular status of the leg/foot.

Incisural Ankle Fracture Xray / Diagnositc Tests

  • A/P, lateral and mortise views of the ankle. Appears like a Tillaux fracture on A/P and mortise views.
  • CT demonstrates that fracture line does not extend through the anterior cortex.
  • MRI generally not indicated although can provide information on ligamentous and physeal injury. (Lohman M, Skeletal Tadiol 2001;30:504).

Incisural Ankle Fracture Classification / Treatment

Incisural Ankle Fracture Associated Injuries / Differential Diagnosis

Incisural Ankle Fracture Complications

  • Delayed union, nonunion
  • Malunion
  • Growth arrest
