common injury which still has many controversial areas and gives guidelines to management based on the existing evidence along with clinical experience gained from a Level I trauma center.The original Salter–Harris Classification with the additional types is a good system to guide on the management....
No laboratory studies are necessary for patients with isolated ankle fracture when caused by a plausible mechanism. However, repeated ankle fracture or fracture caused by simple, low-force trauma may require investigation for osteoporosis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, arthritis, connective tissue disease...
Immobilization and disposition: depends on fracture type and classification (See “Overview of ankle fracture management.”) Weight-bearing: Most ankle fractures are non-weight-bearing (NWB) except for isolated Weber A fractures which can be weight-bearing as tolerated (WBAT). Urgent interventions ...
