TREATMENT PATIENTS WITH ANKLE JOINT INJURY (LITERATURE REVIEW)
Abstract
One of the most frequent pathologies in the practice of a traumatologist-orthopedist is damage to the ankle joint (AJ), accounting for up to 20% of damage to the musculoskeletal system. According to Statistically, the occurrence of ankle fractures averages 100-120 cases per 200 thousand people per year. From 54.1 to 84.6%, ankle fractures with a rupture of the ITS occur in young and able-bodied people. Despite the fact that modern traumatology has a large arsenal of methods for treating patients with ankle fractures accompanied by rupture of the inter-tibial syndesmosis (ITS), among the outcomes of treatment of this category of patients from 3.0 to 53.7% there are contractures of the ankle joint, incorrectly fused ankle fractures, false joints, long-standing subluxations of the talus bone with diastasis between the tibia in the area ITS, deforming arthrosis of the damaged AJ.
