Dr. Gururaja Meravanigi,Dr. K G Ravi | |
Fractures of the posterior rim of distal end of tibia occur in upto 50%of all malleolar fractures. The presence of a posterior tibial fragment in malleolar fractures has been associated with a less favourable prognosis. We conducted a retrospective analysis on patients who were admitted from 2017 to 2022. We used the AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle society score) scoring system which is a self-reported outcome measurement for the evaluation of the outcome of the management at 3 month, 6 month and 1 year follow-up post operatively. Using appropriate statistical methods, we assessed the pattern of recovery of ankle function. Fracture was more common in the age group of 20-40 years.The proportion of males with fracture was high. Left side involvement was high. Type A ad Type C were more common. |
