ABSTRACT
81 cases, 79 patients of ankle fracure treated at pusan Maryknoll hospital from May, 1980 to January, 1986 were analized in clinical and radiological aspect. The results obtained from this study were as following. l. Of the 79 patients, male was 61 patients and female was 18 patients. The average age of the patients was 36 years. 2. Main cause of the injury was traffic accident (35 cases, 43.3%) and the other causes were industrial accident, fall down, slip down, and sports accident in orders. 3. By the classification of Lauge-Hansen, the most common type was pronation external rotation(29 cases, 35.8%). 4. Open reduction was performed in 55 cases(67.9%), and closed reduction in 25 cases(30.1%) 5. The average duration of the cast immobilization was 8 weeks in closed reduction and 7 weeks in open reduction. 6. The result of the treatment was better in those cases of the open reduction than that of the closed reduction. 7. The most poor result was noticed in pronation dorsiflexion type. 8. We agree that Lauge-Hansen classification is useful in diagnosis and treatment of the ankle fracture.
