[Report on 938 bimalleolar luxation fractures. 2. Late results in operated cases and consequences for the surgical technic].
In the first part of this paper the authors reported on the treatment of 938 bimalleolar luxation fractures. 256 of these patients underwent operative treatment. 109 of these were examined clinically and by X-ray 3-13 years after the operation. The analysis of late results allowed conclusions about complaints and function in connection with the new development of arthrosis deformans posttraumatica. Owing to these conclusions the operative method was partly changed. There are no new aspects regarding postoperative treatment.
