RESUMO
A review is presented of the results of treatment in 126 patients over 50 years of age who had suffered a displaced fracture of the ankle. Operative fixation achieved better fracture positions than conservative management, but was associated with a very high complication rate in women. Examination of 86 of the patients more than two years after injury showed little difference in function after conservative or operative treatment.
