- OBJECT: This study investigated to know the factors affecting the radiological results of the ankle fracture after open reduction and internal fixation over the age 60 years.
PATIENTS & METHOD: Open reduction and internal fixation on patient with closed displacement ankle fracture over the age 60 years were studied in 51 cases. Statistical analysis by t-test was used to assess the factors affecting to the post-operation radiological results among the age, sex, classification of fracture, the degree of fracture displacement, bone fragility between anatomical reduction group and non-anatomical reduction group in average 16 months, RESULTS: There are statistical significance(p<0.05) of the sex and bone fragility in post-operation radiological results.
CONCLUSION
The radiological results in old age with ankle fracture is affected by sex and bone fragility in open reduction & internal fixation.
