Abstract:
Ankle fractures are common injuries that can result in substantial morbidity in the population. This review discusses the management of closed ankle fractures and outlines the recent evidence and guidelines on perioperative management. In general, a detailed history should be undertaken, followed by examination and imaging of the affected limb. Fixation is based on the AO principles of fracture management that aims towards restoring stability of the joint and reducing the risk of long-term complications. A multidisciplinary approach towards perioperative management is recommended in view of the increasing proportion of aging patients with significant comorbidities.

The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
