Ankle fractures are common injuries that could result from a trivial twisting injury in old frail patients up to high energy trauma in a young population. Treatment of these fractures aims to restore joint stability and alignment to reduce the risk of post-traumatic ankle arthritis
Ankle fractures can be caused by various modes of trauma (twisting, impact, crush injuries). Falling, tripping, or sports activities may cause twisting forces through the ankle. Impact injuries may result from falling from a height with impaction of the distal tibia and fibula against the talus. #Ankle crush injury may be caused by a road traffic accident or crushing the ankle underneath a heavy object. The degree of bony comminution and soft tissue damage is directly related to the energy of trauma.
About 187 per 100000 adults sustain ankle fractures every year. The highest incidence in the female population is between 75 and 84 years old, compared to 15 to 24 years old for males. Isolated uni malleolar fractures are the most common type accounting for 70% of the yearly incidence of all #anklefractures - about 20 % of ankle fractures are bimalleolar fractures, while trimalleolar fractures represent about 7% of all ankle fractures. Open ankle fractures incidence is about 2% of all ankle fractures #ankleinjury #brokenankles
