Outcome analysis of closed ankle fractures treated by ORIF

Abstract

Though malleolar fractures are discussed extensively, the opinions in the treatment of these fractures varies widely because of differences in classification reduction techniques and subjective symptoms at follow up studies. The primary goal of treatment should be full restoration of anatomy and function of the ankle joint. In this study we report clinically and radiologically the outcome of various types of ankle injury and to analyze the results of closed bimalleolar ankle fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation.
