Transchondral Fractures of the Talus on an lnversion Injury of the Ankle: A Frequently Overlooked Diagnosis.

Twenty-one cases of transchondral fractures of the ankle, seen between 1980 and 1984, were studied. Twenty were available for follow-up. The average follow-up period was 23.5 months. In all cases but one the diagnosis was delayed. The diagnosis stated by clinical signs in medial transchondral fractures seems to be pathognomic: localized tenderness on the posterior medial side of the talus, pain increasing on exertion, and provocation of pain on passive plantar flexion.

Case Study: Isolated Anterior lnterosseous Nerve Paralysis: The - Kiloh-Nevin Syndrome.

A new case of isolated paralysis of the anterior interosseous nerve of a 24-year-old man is described. It is thought that this was caused by a fall on the left arm. This paralysis has a typical clinical picture with a characteristic disturbance of the pinch grip. The patient recovered spontaneously. A review of the findings previously reported in the literature is presented. J Orthop Sports Phy Ther 1984;6(3):178-180.
