【 摘 要 】

Category:Ankle, TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:Fracture-dislocation of the ankle represents a substantial injury to the bony and soft tissue structures of the ankle. Although there is a wealth of reported outcome after operative treatment of ankle fractures, there has been a limited focus on functional outcome of surgically treated ankle fracture-dislocations. The purpose of this study is to compare short-term functional outcome after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in ankle fractures with and without dislocation.Methods:A retrospective chart review of ankle fractures surgically treated by ORIF over a three year period was performed. All ankle fracture patients 18 years or older with a minimum of 12 months follow-up were included. Demographic data, type of injury (bimalleolar, trimalleolar, etc.), operative time, complications, and functional outcomes were recorded. Functional outcome was determined by Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) at the latest follow up visit. Comparison of demographic var...
