Abstract
Ankle fractures are one of the most common lower extremity fractures treated in orthopedics and during the last decades the trend towards surgical treatment has increased [1]. The aim is to restore normal anatomy and biomechanics of the joint
Highlights
In the present study of 60 patients with bimalleolar fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation
Understanding the mechanism of injury is essential for good reduction and internal fixation
Anatomical reduction is essential in all intra articular fractures more so if a weight bearing joint like ankle joint is involved
Summary
Ankle fractures are one of the most common lower extremity fractures treated in orthopedics and during the last decades the trend towards surgical treatment has increased [1]. Fractures in general have been identified as a medical Problem throughout history and most of Hippocrates essays (about 300 BC) described the management of injuries, especially fractures and stated that they were sometimes in connection with the skin. In the treatment he separated between injuries with and without lesions of the skin. As with all intra articular fracture, malleolar fracture necessitate accurate reduction and stable internal fixation. To study the functional and radiological outcome and result of surgical treatment of bimalleolar fractures and to know the complication of open reduction internal fixation in bimalleolar fractures
