A classification system for ankle fractures was developed. The system was based on 2 general fracture divisions, namely uni-, bi-, and tri-malleolar ankle fractures, and the localisation of the fracture at the level of the fibula. The use of the system in 612 ankle fractures that were surgically treated at the Leuven University Hospital between 1978 and 1988 led to the following conclusions: 1. All the 612 ankle fractures could be classified without ambiguity. 2. The system was easy workable also for young residents and physiotherapists. 3. It was accessible to repetition, allowing for comparisons between different subjects. 4. Taking into account the type of fracture, the final result could be predicted.
开发了一种踝关节骨折分类系统。该系统基于两个一般骨折分类,即单踝、双踝和三踝踝关节骨折,以及骨折在腓骨水平的定位。1978年至1988年期间在鲁汶大学医院接受手术治疗的612例踝关节骨折中使用该系统得出了以下结论:1. 所有612例踝关节骨折均可明确分类。2. 该系统对年轻住院医生和物理治疗师来说也易于操作。3. 它便于重复使用,允许在不同受试者之间进行比较。4. 考虑到骨折类型,可以预测最终结果。
