旋前旋后外旋型三踝骨折的手术治疗

目的：探讨旋前、旋后外旋型（IV度）三踝骨折的手术方法和临床疗效。方法：2000年3月至2006年7月,对42例旋前、旋后外旋型（IV度）三踝骨折行切开复位内固定术,男31例,女11例;年龄19～76岁,平均40.5岁。开放性损伤4例,闭和性损伤38例。根据Lauge-Hansen分类,旋前外旋型IV度三踝骨折18例,旋后外旋型IV度三踝骨折24例。受伤距手术时间2h～27d。内、外踝均采用标准内、外侧切口。如需行后踝骨折处理,则将内踝切口延长,同时显露内、外及后踝。整复固定的顺序是后踝、内踝、外踝和下胫腓联合。骨折复位固定完成后,行踝部正侧位及踝穴（Mortise）位X线检查。结果：全部患者均获得随访,时间6～24个月,平均13.5个月。骨折愈合时间12～16周,疗效根据梁军等改良Baird-Jackson的主客观及X线评价标准进行评定,包括疼痛、踝关节的稳定性、行走能力、跑步能力、踝关节活动范围、踝关节X线测量等。本组优20例,良16例,可4例,差2例,优良率85.7%。术后未发生感染、骨不连、骨折畸形愈合等并发症,但发生1例下胫腓骨三皮质固定螺钉断裂。结论：手术治疗的关键在于恢复并稳定踝关节的解剖关系,最大限度恢复踝关节功能。

Surgical treatment of pronation and supination external rotation trimalleolar fractures

Objective: To explore the operative method and its clinical effects of pronation and supination external rotation trimalleolar fractures. Methods: From March 2000 to July 2006,42 patients of the pronation and supination external rotation trimalleolar fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Thirty-one were males and 11 were females,with an average age of 40.5 years(from 19 to 76 years). Four cases were open fractures and 38 cases close fractures. The fractures were classified as pronation-external rotation(grade IV)injury in 18 cases and supination-external rotation(grade IV)in 24 cases according to the system of Lauge-Hansen. The time of injury to operation was 2 hours to 27 days. The medial,lateral and posterior malleolus were exposed by standard anteromedial and Gatellier-Chastang approaches. The reduction and internal fixation started with the posterior,then the medial and the lateral malleolus and distal tibiofibular syndesmosis in sequence. The anteroposterior, lateral and mostise X-ray films were taken after operation. Results: All the patients were followed up for an average time of 13.5 months(from 6 to 24 months). The time of union was from 12 to 16 weeks. The results were excellent in 20,good in 16,fair in 4 and poor in 2 cases according to Baird-Jackson ankle scoring system based on pain,stability,walking ability,range of motion and radiological manifestations. The excellent and good rate was 85.7%. There were no infection,malunion and nonunion of the fractures except that the inserted screw to distal tibiofibular syndesmosis was broken in 1 case. Conclusion: The key of operative treatment is to restore the anatomy of ankle and to regain the ankle function maximally.
