【 摘 要 】

Category:TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:The genetic Lauge-Hansen classification is considered to provide a link between mechanism of ankle injury and resulting fracture morphology. In this study, we addressed the question of agreement between the mechanism of the fracture as postulated by the Lauge-Hansen classification and mechanism reported by the patient in rotational ankle fractures. Understanding of the actual mechanisms of ankle fracture may guide treatment decisions.Methods:Of 110 screened patients with acute malleolar fractures, 78 were able to provide information on their fracture mechanism and were included in the study. The study group consisted of 43 women and 35 men with a mean age of 47.8 (range 19.5-88.4) years. Patients were asked to describe the direction of deformation with primary question being pronation and supination as demonstrated by the examiner. As hyperplantarflexion and hyperdorsiflexion has been spontaneously reported by the patients, these directions were added to the analysis. R...
