Functional Outcome In Surgical Management Of Bi- Malleolar Fractures In Adults

Abstract

Malleolar fractures are the most prevalent type of major fracture to occur in the lower extremities. Because the entire body weight is carried through the ankle, as well as the fact that movement is dependent on the stability of the ankle, these injuries take on a greater level of significance. Because these operative methods restore the anatomy, biomechanics, and contact loading characteristics of the ankle, open reduction and internal fixation have become the mainstay treatment for the majority of unstable bimalleolar fractures. This is because open reduction allows for more bone to be removed during the procedure
