Results of closed ankle fracture surgery at Viet Duc university hospital in 2019
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ankle fracture accompanied by reduced ankle mobility seriously affects the patients’ life. Most closed ankle fractures are treated surgically, thus a study with the aim to describe the injury and evaluate the outcome of this treatment is essential. Our study was carried out to describe the clinical features and evaluate the results of closed ankle fracture surgery at Viet Duc University Hospital. The study was carried out retrospectively and prospectively on 42 patients with closed ankle fractures, all of whom were surgically treated at Viet Duc University Hospital from January to December 2019. According to the results, 57.1% of patients are from 31 – 60 years old and the male/female ratio was 1.33/1. The main cause of injury was traffic accidents representing 71.4%. There were 66.7% patients with dislocation of the talus. No patient experienced early complications after surgery. According to Trafton. P.G; Bray.T.J; Simpsons. L.A Scale: excellent accounted for 31.1%, good accounted for 59.5%, average accounted for 9.5%. Our research showed that the surgical method of combining bones for patients with closed ankle fractures had less complications, demonstrated better recovery in rehabilitation, and patients can return to normal life sooner.
