Ankle fractures: Supination-eversion fractures of stage IV: Primary and late results of operative and non - Operative treatment

Abstract

Supination - eversion fractures of stage IV, 60 treated operatively and 29 non - operatively, were seen at follow - up after 3 - 10 years. This disclosed a statistically significant difference between the results of the two methods. Operation which attempted to re - establish the anatomical position was apparently the better method in the presence of more than minimal displacement or a suspicion of deltoid ligament rupture. © 1980 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
