Category:TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:Unlike routine ankle fractures, Bosworth fracture-dislocation lead to devastating complication such as compartment syndrome, neurovascular injury, and subsequent ankle OA more frequently. However, due to the low incidence of this injury, no study have reported clinical outcomes of Bosworth fracture in comparison to which of routine ankle fractures or these prognostic factors. Therefore this study was performed to assess and compare the outcomes of Bosworth fracture- dislocation to that of routine ankle fractures and understand the prognostic factors in order to prevent the irreversible and severe status.Methods:Twelve patients were followed for more than 1 years after surgical management for Bosworth fracture-dislocation. The mean age was 39.2 years, and the mean follow-up period was 38.4 months. All patients were treated with ORIF including syndesmosis fixation.The clinical evaluation consisted of the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score, Olerud & Molander scale. Reduction of ti...
