  • Zlomi gležnja : pozni rezultati operativnega zdravljenja = Ankle fractures : late results of operative treated ankle fractures
    Silvester, Tomaž ...
    There is no generally accepted doctrine of operative treatment of displaced malleolar fractures. Accurate reduction is fundamental, but ways of fixation are different. Our method of operative ... treatment, especially minimal osteosynthesis, and postoperative proceedings were analyzed. Patients, methods, results. Between 1.1.1989 and 1.4.1994 there were 331 displaced molleolar fractures operatively treated in Jesenice General Hospital. All fractures were classified according to AO criteria. In the majority of fractures minimal osteosynthesis was performed. Early ankle exercises without weight bearing were allowed after operation. 242 of patients were followed up two to seven years after operation. The late results were from functional, clinical and radiological point of view in 87% classified as exellent or good.Conclusions. Early operation with as few osteosynthetic material as possible is our basic approach in treatment of displaced malleolar fractures. In majority of fractures minimal osteosynthesis can be performed. Stabilization of fibula with plate is necessary in some comminuted fractures of type B and in type C fractures according to AO.
