Abstract :

 

Background:  Bimalleolar ankle fractures are common fractures occurring in all age groups. Appropriate management is necessary for optimal function and to prevent complications.

Objectives:  To assess the role of ORIF of closed Bimalleolar fractures in adults with fibular plating and TBW/Screw fixation of medial malleolus.

Material and methods:  This was a Prospective, Observational Study done at JLN & RC, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh on 34 patients. Patients evaluated with Olerud and Molander Score (OMAS) and radiographically.

Results:  In our series of 34 patients, 13 patients (38.24%) had excellent results as per Olerud and Molander Scoring system, 18 (52.94%) had good results. 3 patients (8.82%) had fair results. We had a favourable outcome of 91.18%.

Conclusion:  Our Study recommends ORIF of displaced Closed Bimalleolar fractures, we found TBW/Screw fixation for medial malleolus and Lag Screw with posterior Neutralization plate for lateral Malleolus fractures.
