Abstract:

Fractures around the ankle joint occur due to a variety of forces involved in trauma. Trimalleolar fractures occur with loss of joint integrity and soft tissue injuries in gross violent forces. To avoid complications they need to be planned in such a way to treat them with proper reduction and minimal soft tissue dissection around the ankle.
