Severity ranges from stable single-malleolar fractures to unstable tri-malleolar or pilon fractures requiring complex surgery. Ankle fractures commonly result from twisting injuries in falls, direct impact in car accidents, and crushing forces in industrial accidents.
Stable, non-displaced fractures may be treated with casting and immobilization for 6-8 weeks. Displaced and unstable fractures require ORIF surgery with plates and screws. Post-surgical rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and proprioception. Weight-bearing restrictions apply for weeks after surgery.

Ankle fractures are well-documented on X-ray and have clear treatment protocols. Surgical cases (ORIF) have higher value due to medical costs and longer recovery. The risk of post-traumatic ankle arthritis increases value, especially for fractures involving the joint surface.
