Fractures

Foot and Ankle fractures are among the most common types of fractures; however, they require precise intervention from the very beginning to achieve good outcomes. Studies indicate that the most important factors for the success of ankle fracture fixation are the experience of the treating surgeon and the quality of fixation during the initial surgical intervention following the injury.This is because ankle fractures may involve:Fibular fracturesMedial and posterior tibial fracturesInjury to the medial and lateral ligamentsInjury to the tibiofibular syndesmotic ligamentsTherefore, accurate evaluation of each case and the development of a detailed surgical plan for each patient are essential, with special consideration given to factors that require additional care, such as:OsteoporosisSensory impairment in diabetic patientsThe condition of the skin and surrounding soft tissuesOverall, clinical outcomes are generally excellent, and patients are able to return to sports activities after completing proper rehabilitation.
