Outcome following operative treatment of ankle fractures in Indian population
Journal Title: National Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Ankle fractures are among the most common injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons. These fractures are a significant source of morbidity for the population of both young and elderly. Improper treatment and inadequate reduction of these fracture can lead to significant disability in the form of pain, instability and early onset of arthritic changes. Operative treatment of ankle fracture includes open reduction and internal fixation and has been the gold standard of treatment. However, there are very few studies in literature examining the functional outcome of ankle fractures following operative treatment. The aim of this study was to analyse the pattern of ankle fractures and the outcome following surgical treatment of these fractures.

Introduction: Scoliosis is the lateral curvature of spine. It produces body disfigurement and when the deformity is extreme it displace and compress the viscera and also compromises their function. Thereby it may reduce...

Introduction: Distal 1/3 tibia shaft fractures pose a greater challenge to the surgeon due to its proximity to the ankle joint and due to lack of soft tissue protection. Choosing Modality of fixation in this fractures is...
