ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Fracture of multiple sites can occur by minor trauma because decreased bone quality and bone density in osteoporotic patients. To investigate clinical characteristics of ankle fracture in osteoporotic patients over sixty-five years of age. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
From January 2009 to December 2011, excluding distal tibial shaft and pilon fracture, 40 patients (over 65 years old) who were diagnosed the osteoporosis and observed over 6 months after ankle surgery. We measured age, gender, body mass index (BMI, kg/m2), bone mineral density (BMD, mg/cm3) and T-score through P-QCT. Type of fracture was classified into Danis-Weber and AO classification and whether or not of syndesmotic injury and concomitant disease. Surgery performed under AO principle. We investigated by wound healing, fixation failure and bone union during follow-up.
