Abstract

Abstract:

Posterior malleolus fracture is a common lower limb fracture involving the articular surface. It can occur alone, but it is often combined with medial and lateral malleolus fracture and injury of surrounding tissue structure. Posterior malleolus fractures are mostly associated with vertical violence and sports injuries, and they are mostly seen in closed cases, with pain at the injury site accompanied by limited movement as the main clinical manifestations. In recent years, some studies have reported that the prognosis of ankle fracture involving the posterior ankle is worse. If COVID-19 patients suffer from foot and ankle injury, the treatment will be more difficult and the prognosis will be more difficult to guarantee. Therefore, in this paper, the occurrence mechanism, surgical indications, surgical timing, approach, fixation and prognosis of posterior ankle fracture were reviewed, and relevant literature was read and studied to summarize the diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19 complicated with foot and ankle injury, in order to provide corresponding reference for the treatment of posterior ankle fracture.

Key words: After ankle fracture, COVID-19, Open surgical procedure, Internal fixators
