Outcome of Surgical Management of Bimalleolar Fractures - our Experience
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Ankle injuries gain importance because body weight is transmitted through it and locomotion depends upon the stability of this joint. Malleolar fractures are one of the most common fractures in orthopaedic traumatology. As with all intra articular fractures, malleolar fractures necessitate accurate reduction and stable internal fixation. Previously most of the studies have not obtained good results in cases of bimalleolar fractures. The purpose of this study is to assess the functional outcome and results of surgical treatment of malleolar fractures at our institution. Patients who sustained ankle injuries with malleolar fractures and admitted in our hospital from 2014-2016 were included in the study. The treatment of bimalleolar fractures with open reduction and stable internal fixation using AO principles was found to give a high percentage of excellent and good results. This study supports these conclusions and advocates the advantages of early mobilisation after surgery.
