Abstract
Ankle fractures are one of the commonest injuries and fractures of the lower leg. Bimalleolar fracture is a type of ankle fracture, in which the inner and outer bony prominences at the lower end of the leg breaks or cracks. The goals of treatment continue to be both fracture union and an ankle that moves and functions normally without pain. Operative treatment is indicated when congruity of the joint cannot be restored with closed methods. Hence based on above findings the present study was planned to assess functional outcome of surgery in ankle fractures. The 20 patients admitted Department of Orthopaedic Patna medical college and hospital from Sept 2017 to June 2018 were included in the present study. The patients were undergone the surgical treatment of ankle fracture. The present study concludes that surgical management of bimalleolar ankle fractures provides good functional outcome. Ankle injuries are common in young male after stumbling or vehicular accident. Conservative treatment in selected fractures is justified. Surgical treatment with stable fixation after understanding mechanism of injury gives good results in terms of early mobilization faster rehabilitation.
