Abstract:Objective To observe and evaluate the effect of open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of ankle fracture.Methods A total of 84 patients with displaced ankle fractures treated in our hospital from June 2014 to June 2016 were selected as observation objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into the research group and the control group,42 cases in each group.In the control group,patients with ankle joint fractures were treated with traditional plaster for external fixation.In the research group,open reduction and internal fixation was applied.The excellent and good rate after therapy,ankle function recovery and the occurrence of complications were compared in the two groups.Results The excellent and good rate in the research group was 97.62%,which was higher than that in the control group(83.33%),with significant difference(P<0.05).The scores of pain,ankle stability,walking ability,running ability,work ability,range of motion and radiological results in the research group was higher than that in the control group,with significant difference(P<0.05).The incidence rate of complications in the research group was 4.76%,which was lower than that in the control group(19.05%),with significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of ankle fracture is remarkable,which can effectively improve the ankle function of the patients with ankle fractures and it is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
