(Seriously).This is in part because I started making an animation to illustrate this concept for a presentation and realized I could convert it to a book! ( You can watch the animated video for free.)Ī few weeks ago, though, I started thinking about experimenting with AI-driven illustrations for various projects, including wondering whether I could illustrate a children’s book or other projects with it. My third children’s book, “ Understanding Automated Insulin Delivery: A basic book for kids, family, and friends of people living with diabetes” I illustrated myself, DIY (do-it-yourself), using PowerPoint.My second book, Parker’s Peanut Butter, was illustrated by an artist I met through a workshop, Beatrice Baumgartner-Cohen.My first book, Carolyn’s Robot Relative, was illustrated with art by my aunt, Sandra Massengill.I’ve used a different illustrator or artist for each of my books so far. I let it sit for several years, though, because I didn’t have illustrations for it. This new book is called Cooper’s Crutches. One of these books I wrote years ago, about a month or so after I broke my ankle, inspired by the initial reactions from one of my nephews about me being on crutches. I wrote two new books! You can find “ Cooper’s Crutches” and “ Chloe’s Cookies” on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats. Fractures of the Ankle Joint: Investigation and Treatment Options.

Usually associated with an injury to the medial side Weber C fractures can be further subclassified as 6Ĭ1: diaphyseal fracture of the fibula, simpleĬ2: diaphyseal fracture of the fibula, complexĪ fracture above the syndesmosis results from external rotation or abduction forces that also disrupt the joint Medial malleolus fracture or deltoid ligament injury often presentįracture may arise as proximally as the level of fibular neck and not visualized on ankle films, requiring knee or full-length tibia-fibula radiographs ( Maisonneuve fracture) Tibiofibular syndesmosis disruption with widening of the distal tibiofibular articulation Weber B fractures could be further subclassified as 9ī2: associated with a medial lesion (malleolus or ligament)ī3: associated with a medial lesion and fracture of posterolateral tibiaĪbove the level of the syndesmosis (suprasyndesmotic)

Variable stability, dependent on the status of medial structures (malleolus/ deltoid ligament) and syndesmosis may require open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) Tibiofibular syndesmosis usually intact, but widening of the distal tibiofibular joint (especially on stressed views) indicates syndesmotic injuryĭeltoid ligament may be torn, indicated by widening of the space between the medial malleolus and talar dome Usually stable if medial malleolus intact treat with CAM Walker or Moon Boot with crutches and weight bear as tolerated with them for 6 weeksĭistal extent at the level of the syndesmosis (trans-syndesmotic) may extend some distance proximally
