Introduction

Open fragility ankle fractures involve complex decision making. There is no consensus on the method of surgical management. Our aim in this study was to analyse current management of these patients in a major trauma centre (MTC).

Materials & Methods

This cohort study evaluates the management of geriatric (≥65years) open ankle fractures in a MTC (November 2020–November 2022). The method, timing(s) and personnel involved in surgical care were assessed. Weightbearing status over the treatment course was monitored. Patient frailty was measured using the clinical frailty score (CFS).

Introduction

Diaphyseal tibial fractures account for approximately 1.9% of adult fractures. Several studies demonstrate a high proportion of diaphyseal tibial fractures have ipsilateral occult posterior malleolus fractures, this ranges from 22–92.3%.

Materials and Methods

A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database was performed at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust between 1/1/2013 and 9/11/2020. The inclusion criteria were patients over 16, with a diaphyseal tibial fracture and who underwent a CT. The articular fracture extension was categorised into either posterior malleolar (PM) or other fracture

Introduction

Diaphyseal tibial fractures account for approximately 1.9% of adult fractures. Studies have demonstrated a high proportion have ipsilateral occult posterior malleolus fractures. We hypothesize that this rotational element will be highlighted using the Mason & Molloy Classification.

A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database was performed at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust between 1/1/2013 and 9/11/2020. The inclusion criteria were patients over 16, with a diaphyseal tibial fracture, who underwent a CT. The Mason and Molloy posterior malleolus fracture classification system was used.
