Abstract
The ankle joint is subjected to enormous forces across a relatively small surface area of contact, with up to 1.5 times body weight with gait and greater than 5.5 times body weight with more strenuous activity. Maintaining congruency of the ankle joint is therefore critical to the long‐term viability of the ankle. As soon as the patients were brought to the casualty/opd a detailed examination was carried out to rule out significant injuries. Then the patient’s radiographs were taken, both anteroposterior and lateral views of the ankle joints. On admission to the ward detailed history was taken relating to the age, sex, occupation, address, mode of injury, past and associated medical illness, patients general condition was assessed. In our study of bimalleolar ankle fracture both right and left ankle were fractured in similar numbers of subjects (15:15). Domestic slipping and twisting, followed by Road traffic injuries were the most common cause of injury in our study.
