Abstract

Fractures of the ankle joint are among the commonest fractures in adults, with an incidence of up to 174 cases per 100 000 persons per year1. A study was conducted to learn the functional outcome of displaced bimalleolar fracture treated with bular plating for lateral malleolus and pinning or screw for medial malleolus. For a good long-term functional outcome to be achieved, reliable early evaluation is crucial so that it can be determined whether the problem is a distortion (sprain), ligament rupture, bony ligament avulsion, or fracture of the talocrural joint. The proper treatment is chosen on the basis of the mechanism of the accident and the correct classication of the injury and accompanying soft-tissue damage. The goal of treatment is to enable the patient to put his or her full weight on the joint once again without pain and to prevent permanent damage2. In this study, a total of 25 patients were included. Detailed history and clinical ndings are conrmed and noted. After surgery patients followed on at 1 month, 3 months & 6 months, and thereafter yearly for their radiological and functional outcome.
