Evaluation of ankle fractures: non-operative and operative treatment

J L Hughes et al. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 1979 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

A relatively great number of supination abduction fractures did not need surgical treatment because displacement was not present. Significantly better results occurred with operative intervention in supination--eversion and pronation--eversion ankle fractures. Supination--abduction and supination--eversion ankle fractures are best treated by open reduction, anatomical restoration and stabilization of the fractures.
