Controversies in Trauma Care

Naoki Haraguchi, MD, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA,
spoke about a new concept regarding the pathomechanics and pathoanatomy of
ankle fractures. Beginning in 1948, Lauge-Hansen classified ankle fractures into 13
subgroups according to the position of the foot at the time of the fracture (supination
or pronation) and the direction of the force (adduction, abduction, or external
rotation). A supination-external (S-E) rotation fracture is the most common type of
ankle fracture. There are clinical inconsistencies to this definition, however, and a
host of different studies from the 1960s to 1990s have been unable to reproduce a
Lauge-Hansen S-E rotation-type fracture in experimental settings. See page 4.
