The Maisonneuve fracture is a spiral fracture of the proximal third of the fibula associated with a tear of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and the interosseous membrane. There is an associated fracture of the medial malleolus or rupture of the deep deltoid ligament of the ankle. This type of injury can be difficult to detect. [1] [2]
The deltoid ligament (or medial ligament of talocrural joint) is a strong, flat, triangular band, attached, above, to the apex and anterior and posterior borders of the medial malleolus. The deltoid ligament supports the ankle joint and also resists excessive eversion of the foot. [1] The deltoid ligament is composed of 4 fibers:
Subacromial bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the bursa that separates the superior surface of the supraspinatus tendon (one of the four tendons of the rotator cuff) from the overlying coraco-acromial ligament, acromion, and coracoid (the acromial arch) and from the deep surface of the deltoid muscle.

Whether it’s from an injury or a medical condition, back pain can affect people of any age. And it’s a very common health concern: Approximately 16 million adults suffer from chronic back pain.
medial malleolus may be fractured or deltoid ligament may be torn; variable stability; Type C. Fracture of the fibula proximal to the syndesmosis. Typical features: above the level of the ankle joint; tibiofibular syndesmosis disrupted with widening of the distal tibiofibular articulation; medial malleolus fracture or deltoid ligament injury ...
These ligaments include the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and the posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL). [9] The calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), which connects the fibula to the calcaneus, or heel bone, also provides lateral support. The deltoid ligament provides support to the medial part of the ankle (closest to the midline).
