Abstract
Bimalleolar fracture can occur due to various mechanisms of injuries; these tend to produce ankle injuries when one attempts to turn violently over a fixed foot or the foot being used as lever to produce twist at the ankle. The operative method, restores the anatomy and contact loading characteristic of the ankle. Additional advantages include easier rehabilitation without a cast, early mobilization and early weight bearing. All patients attending outpatient department of orthopaedics and patients admitted in department of orthopaedics between 18 years to 65 years of both sex, presenting with bimalleolar ankle fractures, who are willing to undergo surgery were enrolled for the study after obtaining the written informed consent from patient and their attenders. In the present study of 30 patients with bimalleolar ankle fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation, excellent results were achieved in 12 (40%), good in 9 (30%), fair in 8 (26.66%) and poor in 1 (3.33%) of patients.
