Abstract |
The number of ankle fractures in elderly patients is increasing. The aim of treatment of ankle fractures in the elderly is to guarantee a possible unlimited autonomy and quality of life for patients. This is achieved by minimization of the complications and impairments after ankle joint fractures. Decisive for the further course is the initial treatment. The results are essentially determined by the soft tissue management, reduction and stable osteosynthesis; however, an orthogeriatric co-management with the implementation of treatment paths and standard operating procedures is recommended. The advantages of an interdisciplinary cooperation of trauma surgeons and geriatricians are obvious in this situation. |
