title: [Evaluation of treatment results for lateral ankle fractures].
abstract: An analysis was performed of 18 lateral ankle fractures with fracture fissure running from above-back forward and down-ward. In this group, 15 cases were treated conservatively and three cases surgically. In eight patients an evident limitation of pronation movements was found, the remaining movement being limited to a lesser degree. In six patients traces after previous separation of tibiofibular syndesmosis were found. The conservative treatment failed to maintain normal conditions in the talocrural joint.
