Morphological Analysis and Classification of Posterior Malleolar Fractures Based on CT Scans
Morphological Analysis and ClassificationPosterior Malleolar Fractures1 moreThe study was to propose a classification system of posterior malleolar fractures by fracture lines with the use of CT scans, including 3D CT reconstruction, which can better understand morphological characteristics, analyze the mechanism and guide the surgeon to choose optimal approach and fixation.

The Role of Patient Expectations in Traumatic Orthopedic Outcomes-TEFTOM EURASIA
Tibia Fracture (Isolated)Ankle Fracture (Isolated)Design: Prediction trial, up to 10 sites in Asia and Europe Goal: To better understand the "success" or "failure" after orthopedic trauma surgery by developing a model that can be applied clinically as a user-friendly "baseline" questionnaire - capable of predicting "success" or "failure" based on a patient's pre-surgical expectations of their final outcome and to validate a novel outcomes measure (TOM). Primary aim: To assess the psychometric properties of predictive validity, internal consistency and reproducibility of the trauma expectation factor (TEF) in the Eurasian population. Secondary aim: To assess the psychometric properties of criterion validity, internal consistency,reproducibility, and sensitivity to change of the TOM in the Eurasian population. Key questions related to patient and surgeon expectations: How different, or similar, are patient and surgeon expectations? Do expectations change over time? Do patient expectations predict outcomes in validated measures use today?
Intramedullary Nailing of Tibia Fractures
Tibial FracturesMalleolar FracturesCurrently, the treatment of choice for tibial fracture is intramedullary nailing. This procedure has been shown to have low rates of infection, high rates of bone healing, and a faster return to weight bearing and activity in comparison to conservative treatment. In concurrent fractures of the posterior or medial malleolus and the tibia, it is now common to identify, reduce, and fix the malleolar fracture prior to intramedullary nailing of the tibia. In this retrospective study, our aim is to establish that reducing malleolar fractures prior to tibial nailing is a safe treatment in which the reduction of the malleolus is maintained intraoperatively, postoperatively, and remains reduced until the fracture has healed.
Prognostic Factors Following Ankle Fractures
Ankle FracturesAnkel fractures is a common fracture. Most patients experience that the regain normal range of motions and limited pain within the first 6 months following ankel fracture, but not all. The aim of the study is to determine if any prognostic factors is associated with a worse outcome.
Impact of Regional Anesthesia on Blood Pressure in Lower Limb Traumatism
FractureAnkle1 moreThis study aims to compare the hemodynamic impact of two anaesthetic strategies 'Regional anesthesia' versus 'General anesthesia' in leg and ankle fractures surgery.
Factors Influencing the Risk of Surgical Site Infections and Wound Complications in Operatively...
Ankle FracturesThis study is to analyse risk factors for wound complications or surgical site infections and to analyse whether risk factors for wound complications or surgical site infections are also factors for other complications. Based on the data from this study it will be investigated whether a risk score can be build up to predict individual risk for a complication after surgery.
Ankle Fracture Treatment in the Elderly
Ankle FractureThe purpose of this study is to track surgical outcomes and post-operative course in patients 55 years of age or older treated for ankle fractures.
Intraoperative Three Dimensional Fluoroscopy Compared to Standard Fluoroscopy for the Assessment...
Ankle InjuriesAnkle fractures are common injuries that are being operated routinely. In order to restore the long term function and prevent arthritis of the ankle the broken fragments should be put in place precisely. Inadequate reduction can result in pain and long term disability. Recently, based on MRI studies and clinical studies, a significant number of ankle fractures are apparently fixed with less than optimal results. We suggest that the use of a new device that enables better three dimensional imaging will improve the quality of operations performed for ankle fractures.
Early Weight Bearing for Ankle Fractures
Broken AnkleThe purpose of this observational study is to assess the rate of return to work, rate of return to activities, functional outcome measures and pain scores in operatively repaired rotational Bimalleolar and Trimalleolar (AO/OTA Classification of 44A and 44B) ankle fractures not requiring fixation of the syndesmosis and allowed early weight bearing on or before the first post-operative visit.
