Ankle Fracture Fixation - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical exhibit illustrates a procedure for fixation of an ankle fracture. The first set of images shows the initial fractures of the tibia and fibula from the anterior and lateral views. The third image shows the lateral incision used to expose the fracture site, and next the placement of the fixation hardware is depicted. The fifth image shows screws placed through a medial incision. The final image clearly portrays the post-operative condition by ghosting in the fixation hardware and screws from an anterior view.
