Ankle Joint

2.7K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Obesity is linked to a higher risk of tri-malleolar ankle fractures, particularly in women. Further research is needed to confirm if menopause is an independent risk factor.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Public Health
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Obesity is a significant public health concern in the UK.
  • Obesity is correlated with an increased incidence of ankle fractures.
  • Obese individuals experience more severe ankle fractures requiring surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between obesity and tri-malleolar ankle fractures.
  • To examine gender-specific differences in tri-malleolar ankle fractures.
  • To assess if menopause is an independent risk factor for tri-malleolar ankle fractures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of operatively managed ankle fractures at a UK major trauma center.
  • Identification of 161 cases of tri-malleolar ankle fractures.
  • Collection and analysis of patient demographics and injury data.

Main Results:

  • A significant proportion of patients (37.3%) were obese, with a higher mean BMI (30.6) compared to the national average (27.6).
  • Women exhibited a higher average BMI (31.8) than men (28.4).
  • 46.7% of the cohort were postmenopausal women (≥55 years), a significantly higher prevalence than in the general population.

Conclusions:

  • Obesity is associated with tri-malleolar ankle fractures.
  • Women appear more prone to tri-malleolar ankle fractures than men.
  • The role of menopause as an independent risk factor requires further investigation due to conflicting data.
