ABSTRACT
As the geriatric population and associated ankle fractures continues to increase, fracture surgeons should be prepared to surgically manage osteoporotic ankle fractures. There are abundant challenges in management, soft tissue care, and fixation of ankle fractures with poor bone quality especially in elderly patients who have difficulty limiting weight bearing. This article summarizes several different surgical techniques that can be used to optimize outcomes of these fractures.
