초록

도수 또는 중력 외회전 부하 방사선 검사는 족관절 양과 유사 골절과 단독 외과 골절을 구별할 수 있는 기준이 된다. 부하 방사선 검사상 내측 관절 간격이 넓어지면 삼각인대 손상을 진단할 수 있고 비골 골절에 대한 수술적 처치가 권장된다. 비골 골절에 대하여 관혈적 정복술 후 Cotton test를 시행하여 경비원위인대가 벌어질 경우 이에 대한 고정을 시행한 후 삼각인대의 봉합술 시행 여부는 술자의 선호도 및 수술장 내 소견에 의하여 결정된다. 삼각인대 봉합술은 내과에 suture anchor를 삽입하고 심부와 천부 삼각인대에 대하여 중첩술 후 내과에 anchor를 통하여 고정함으로써 시행한다. 유일하게 무작위로 시행된 족관절 골절에서의 삼각인대 봉합술의 유용성 평가 연구에서는 삼각인대 봉합술의 유용성에 대하여 긍정적인 결론을 도출하지 못하였으나 연구 자체의 제한점이 많아 해석을 하는 데 있어 한계가 있었다. 추후 이에 대한 심도 있는 연구가 필요하리라 판단된다.

When an ankle lateral malleolar fracture is accompanied by a deltoid ligament rupture without a medial malleolar fracture, such an injury is called a bimalleolar equivalent fracture. This means that even if there is no bony injury on the medial side, there may be functional instability of the ankle joint due to damage to the deltoid ligament. Manual or gravity external rotational stress radiography is used to differentiate an ankle bimalleolar equivalent fracture from an isolated lateral malleolar fracture. If the medial joint gap is widened on the stress radiography, the deltoid ligament injury can be diagnosed, and surgical treatment for fibula fractures is recommended. After open reduction of the fibula fracture (with syndesmotic fixation if needed), a decision on the repair of the deltoid ligament is taken depending on the surgeons' preference and intraoperative findings. The deltoid ligament repair is performed by inserting a suture anchor (or anchors) in the medial malleolus and fixing the deep and superficial deltoid ligaments to the medial malleolus. The only randomized study to evaluate the utility of deltoid ligament sutures in ankle fractures did not support the deltoid ligament suture, but the study itself had many limitations. An appropriately powered, randomized, controlled trial of the deltoid ligament repair with both patient-reported outcome and radiographic outcome evaluation is needed in the future.
