The Type And Treatment Progress Of Ankle Fractures

Ankle fractures are intra-articular fracture.The mechanism of injury is usually complicated. Many fractures have a combination of ligamentous injury and dislocation of the joint.As to the treatment of ankle joint the previous scholar think that: the anatomic restoration and stability is fosal point of treatment to ankle joint fracture.As the understanding to dissection of ankle joint and biological research people begin to learn that lateral malleolar and lower tibiofibular ligament is the point in the treatment of ankle jiont from 1970s. However, in recent years scholars have also simulated the use of experimental model of the dynamic weight-bearing ankle dynamics of research and found that a simple fracture of the lateral malleolus of the ankle joint exercise had no significant effect. If we do not conform with the anatomy of ankle joint in the treatment,there will be serious affect in joint movement. Ankle fratures should be repaired in order to recover its anatomic structure and stability. The restoration involves reconstructing the injury of soft tissues, fixing the tibial-fibular syndesmosis, fusion of the ankle joint or even ankle joint replacement if neede .
