Abstract:
The acute ankle fracture has been often cited as one of the most commonly treated orthopedic injuries. As such, significant research has been conducted, along with many clinical studies, aiming to evaluate conservative versus surgical management, as well as radiographic classification and long-term outcomes. Because these clinical outcomes are pertinent to practicing physicians, this article aims to examine studies that assess the reliability and reproducibility of familiar classification systems for rotational ankle fractures.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
