Abstract:
Outcome from complex ankle fractures depends on the severity of the injury, the accuracy of the reduction, and the institution of soft-tissue rehabilitation. The timing of surgery must take into consideration the degree of soft-tissue swelling and the overall condition of the patient. Good operative technique is vital in preventing complications, restoring anatomic relationships, and obtaining rigid stability. In order to diminish time away from sports, the rehabilitation phase should overlap the healing phase.

Fractures: Bone Repair
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...
