Surgical management of intra-articular fractures of oscalsis

In this study, 21 cases of displaced intra-articular fractures of oscalsis were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Eighteen cases were available for the follow up period which ranged from 15 to 24 months with an average of 20 months. A clinical assessment was carried out using modified scoring system. Excellent results were obtained in eight cases, good results in seven cases, fair in two cases and poor in one case. The unsatisfactory results were noticed in cases with three part-fractures type III where an anatomical reduction was difficult to be achieved
