[Fractures of the upper ankle].
Upper ankle injuries are the most common reason for presentation in emergency departments. The initial treatment is often left in the hands of young clinical professionals. While the mechanism of injury might appear banal, insufficient diagnosis and treatment can lead to long periods of disability and functional impairment of the joint. Therefore, it is the aim of this work to provide a thorough understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, mechanism of injury, diagnostic and operative procedures of ankle joint fractures.
