Abstract:
Treatment of neglected fracture dislocations of the ankle poses a surgical challenge. Extensive open reduction can frequently be contraindicated because of local skin conditions and contractures. The Taylor Spatial Frame™ (TSF) has been used to reduce and maintain reduction of complex fractures. Its use in fracture dislocation of the ankle joint has not been described. We describe a case where a TSF was used to reduce and treat a 6-week-old fracture dislocation of the ankle. The TSF is a versatile device, which has a role in the management of both acute and neglected fractures.

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
