چکیده
Abstract Aim Ankle fractures are common, and the majority result of low energy torsional trauma. The aim treatment is to restore maintain stability alignment joint, ideally with normal anatomy ankle mortise. According BOAST guidelines for fractures, Early fixation within 24-48 hours recommended in patients under 60 years when mortise unstable. This study aimed at assessing our practice managing against infection rate assessment. Method Data was collected respectively from electronic patient records three months period entered excel. First cycle results were presented a departmental audit meeting recommendations improve acted upon. Second data later period. Final re-audited meeting. Results results: only 11% had their fixed 48 none them surgical site infection. 65.2 % operations over week an Infection 10.6%. 19% 47.6 4.8%. Conclusions showed improvement operative timing infections compared initial first results. associated lower rates.

Immediate Weight-Bearing after Ankle Fracture Fixation
We believe that a certain subset of surgical ankle fracture patients can be made weight-bearing as tolerated immediately following surgery. Immediate weight-bearing as tolerated (IWBAT) allows patients to return to ambulation and activities of daily living faster and may facilitate rehabilitation. A prospectively gathered orthopaedic trauma database at a Level 1 trauma center was reviewed retro...

BACKGROUND Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries in children. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacies of two percutaneous fixation methods after closed reduction in physeal ankle fractures. METHODS We reviewed the cases of 24 patients with a mean age of 12.29 years; 16 were male, and 8 were female. Only patients with fractures of Salter-Harris types 2, 3, and 4 with di...
متن کاملReliability of Postoperative Radiographies in Ankle Fractures
Background: The accuracy of reduction of ankle fractures using postoperative plain radiographies (x-ray) remainswidely controversial. Some authors have demonstrated that postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan can beuseful for these patients. In current study, the efficacy of x-rays after fixation of ankle fractures was investigated basedon the CT scan findings.Metho...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate syndesmosis-only fixation in Weber C ankle fractures with tibiofibular diastasis and to assess the need for additional fibular fixation. METHODS Twenty-one patients with Weber C ankle fractures and tibiofibular diastasis were followed for at least 24 months after treatment. In treatment of the Weber C fractures, only a syndesmosis screw was used through a mini open late...
