Abstract: | Background Ankle joint injuries are one of the most common injuries in childhood. Studies on large series investigating epidemiology and long-term outcome are rare. Methods Employing a retrospective analysis of the well-documented school or kindergarten accidents over a 10-year period a total of 623 ankle injuries in children and adolescents (14 years of age) could be identified and analysed regarding epidemiology, treatment, complications and long-term outcome. Results Accidents during physical education (33?%), during break (24?%) and in the hallway (18?%) were most common. Ligament injuries occurred in 21?%, fractures of the ankle in 79?% of patients. The mean treatment period was 45 days. Eleven patients underwent a physical examination for physical disability assessment; very mild partial disability was assessed in 4 cases. The outcome of ankle injuries in school and kindergarten is good and long-term handicap is very rare. |
