- There was a close correlation between the final clinical result and the quality of reduction of the fracture fragments. Fracture-dislocations of the ankle are relatively rare and unstable injuries in which anatomical reduction and difficult by closed method. More recently, anatomical reduction, secure internal fixation and early motion have been advocated as principle of treatment for a success ful clinical outcome in fracture-dislocation of the ankle.
We reviewed the result of a case of the neglected ankle fracture-dislocation that have been reduced anatomically by closed method using a Ilizarov device. Clinical and radiographic results of the technique were satisfactory after length of follow-up thirty-eight months.
