Abstract

Analyzing a group of 11 sportsmen who had fracture of ankle joint with injury of TF syndesmosis, we concluded that these sportsmen who have been treated operatively had better final result of treatment and much more stable ankle jont which enabled them to return to sport activities, and where the non-operative treatment had been undertaken (4), in one patient the result of treatment was bad, and it meant the end of active playing of football. The analysis showed that the result of treatment depended on the type of ankle joint fracture at pronation – eversion procedures with injury of TF syndesmosis – final result was worse than at supination – eversion fractures. Opearive treatment at these injuries should be applied always when active sportsmen are concerned, because only this way the ideal anatomic reduction is achieved, congruence of joint surfaces of ankle joint, adequate recovery of ligaments of TF syndesmosis and absolute stability of ankle joint in sportsmen, which enables them to continue their sport career

Keywords
