Complications following surgical treatment of ankle fractures in the elderly: can they be avoided?
Following surgical treatment of ankle fractures, geriatric patients face high complication rates (CR) in literature. Commonly used diagnostic and treatment algorithms fail to consider requirements of ageing patients which increases the risk of postoperative complications. Objective: Present study critically evaluated surgical management of ankle fractures in patients over 65 years old, with focus on identifying modifiable risk factors and effective comorbidity management strategies.
Primary arthrodesis for diabetic ankle fractures using a modified retrograde femoral intramedullary locking nail combined with lateral plating, surgical technique, and early results of a pilot study
We aimed to report the early results of performing acute ankle arthrodesis using a modified retrograde femoral intramedullary locking IMN concomitant with plating at the same setting for managing diabetic patients' acute ankle fractures.
Ankle distraction arthroplasty: A regenerative solution for osteoarthritis
Ankle distraction arthroplasty is a mechano-biological treatment for osteoarthritis of the ankle that serves as an alternative to ankle arthrodesis and prosthetic arthroplasty, or total ankle replacement.
