Abstract

Airbags are automatic passive restrictive type of car safety tools. In the literature, a small number of injuries that is related to spontaneous airbag deployment have been reported. In our article, we reported isolated medial malleolus fracture that is rare and related to spontaneous airbag deployment without any collision. We detected the injury of a twenty nine-year-old woman due to direct trauma as a result of the spontaneous airbag deployment. According to the Pankovich and Shivaram classification system, there was a type B, close, isolated medial malleolus fracture. We have performed open reduction and internal fixation. As a result of a one-year follow up, we detected that the ankle joint is painless, stabile and has a full range of movement. According to our research on literature, our patient is the first medial malleolus fracture case that is related to spontaneous airbag deployment in literature.

Özet

Özet: Hava yastıkları otomatik pasif kısıtlayıcı tipte otomobil güvenlik araçlarıdır. Literatürde kendiliğinden hava yastığı açılmasına bağlı gelişen yaralanma az sayıda bildirilmiştir. Yazımızda herhangi bir çarpışma olmadan kendiliğinden hava yastığı açılmasına bağlı gelişen, nadir bir yaralanma olan izole medial malleol kırığı vakasını sunduk. Yirmidokuz yaşında bayan hastada, yaralanmanın hava yastığının kendiliğinden açılması sonucu direkt travma ile oluştuğunu tespit ettik. Pankovich ve Shivaram sınıflamasına göre tip B, kapalı, izole medial malleol kırığı mevcuttu. Hastaya açık redüksiyon ve internal fiksasyon uyguladık. Bir yıllık takipler sonucunda ayak bileği ekleminin ağrısız , stabil ve hareket açıklığının tam olduğunu saptadık. Araştırabildiğimiz kadarıyla hastamız kendiliğinden hava yastığı açılmasına bağlı literatürdeki ilk izole medial malleol kırığı vakasıdır.
