Abstract

Cominution of bone fragments and weakness of soft tissues dominate in cominuted fractures of ancle joint. This conditions representing big problem for proper osteofixation. Authors demonstrated external fixation tip Mitkoviæ for operative treatment of cominuted fractures of ancle in two patients. In both cases they achieved excellent functional outcome (by AOFAS score). This method distinguish easily aplication, stability of bone fragments, good biodynamic conditions. Those caracteristics provide optimal conditions for bone healing and authors recomended this method for treatment cominuted fratures of ancle.
