[Late results following ankle joint osteosyntheses].
Follow-up checks were performed on 106 patients, between four and 16 years after osteosynthesis on the upper ankle joint. Good to very good results by Weber's criteria were recorded from 57.5 per cent. That percentage had been much higher in other comparable studies. The high percentage of poor results from the authors' patients was attributed to malreduction, incorrect osteosynthesis, and delay of surgical treatment in many cases. The prognosis was found to be clearly deteriorated by distal tibial edge fractures. Long-time results can best be favourably influenced by high-accurate reduction and osteosynthesis and high rates of primary operations.
