【 摘 要 】

Category:TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:Rotational ankle fractures are common in orthopaedic surgery, however existing classification systems are mostly descriptive in nature and do not explicitly guide surgical decision-making. A Stability-Based classification was developed recently to provide a more prognostic classification. The purpose of this study was to compare the reproducibility of existing ankle fracture classifications, and determine the ability of the Stability-Based classification to predict clinical treatment.Methods:One hundred ninety-three consecutive ankle fractures treated at our institution were retrospectively analyzed. Rotational type injury patterns in patients >18 years old were included. None of the subjects were clinically treated or evaluated by the study authors. The fractures were treated by attending physicians who were unaware of the Stability-Based classification system. Pathologic fractures were excluded. Three observers classified injury radiographs using the Lauge-Hansen, Web...
