Obesity and specific ankle fracture characteristics like talo-crural angle and syndesmosis integrity significantly impact outcomes in displaced ankle fractures. These factors are crucial for predicting patient results after treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Displaced ankle fractures are common injuries requiring careful management.
  • Predicting outcomes in these fractures is essential for effective treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key factors influencing outcomes in displaced ankle fractures.
  • To evaluate the significance of patient demographics, injury characteristics, and treatment parameters.

Main Methods:

  • A statistical analysis was performed on data from 67 patients with displaced ankle fractures.
  • Stepwise discriminant analysis and multiple linear regression were employed to identify significant predictors.

Main Results:

  • Obesity, talo-crural angle, residual malleolar displacement, and syndesmosis integrity were significant predictors of outcomes.

  • The statistical model demonstrated high discriminatory power (p < 0.01).

    • Conclusions:

    • These identified factors are critical for assessing prognosis in displaced ankle fractures.
    • Obesity should be considered in the management and outcome prediction of ankle fractures.
