Review of Postoperative Prognosis of Ankle Fractures

Abstract

We reviewed the prognosis of 66 ankle fractures. Patients ages ranged from 12 to 76 years with an average of 45 years. The prognostic factors were evaluated in these cases. It was found that the type and the stage of Lauge-Hansen's classification, etiology of the injury, degree of reduction, age of patient, presence or absence of compression deformity and other injuries were related factors. Evaluation of these factors would enable us to estimate to some degree the clinical result.
