We applied open reduction and internal fixation technology combined with ankle arthroscopy to treat 26 patients with complex ankle fracture dislocation.we obtained the very good effect.We found that ankle arthroscopy has unique clinical advantages in intra-articular lesions and anterior /posterior lesions.Arthroscopy combined with traditional ORIF technology can obviously reduce surgical trauma.

Abstract

26 cases, male 19, female 7 ;10 cases of AO type B;16 cases of type C;10 cases have intra-articular osteochondral lesions, 4 cases have anterior ankle fracture, syndesmotic ligament injury in 7 cases, 12 cases combined posterior ankle fractures, posterior Pilon fractures in 2 cases.Methods: internal and external ankle fractures treated by ORIF technology. Arthroscopic treatment including articular cartilage injury debridement ,fixed syndesmotic joint, remove or fixed anterior /posterior ankle fracture assisted by arthroscopy. Early rehabilitation exercise after surgery.Results: the AOFAS score: 81-100;An average of 91.5 points.
