Abstract
Aim:To study the functional outcome and results of surgical treatment of Bimalleolar fractures of the ankle. Introduction: Malleolar fractures are one of the most common fractures in orthopaedic traumatology. Malleolar fractures necessitate accurate reduction and stable internal xation. Materials And Methods: 30 patients with fresh Bimalleolar fractures were studied. The fractures were classied based on Lauge–Hansen's classication in adults. Surgical techniques used were open reduction and internal xation of lateral malleolus with semi-tubular plate or Tension band wiring and then the medial malleolus with malleolar screws or Tension band wiring. Results: At the end of the study, excellent to good results were seen in 23(76.7%) cases, 6(20%) cases had fair results, and 1(3.3%) had unfortunate results. Conclusion: 1. Good anatomical reduction is essential for good clinical outcomes, irrespective of the type of fracture. 2.The results are satisfactory in 90% of patients treated by open reduction and internal xation.
