Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of conservative treatment and surgical open reduction in the treatment of patients with fracture of anterior lateral rotation of ankle joint.Methods Totally 62 patients with fracture of anterior lateral rotation of ankle joint was selected and divided into observation group (n =33,operation treatment) and control group (n =29,conservative treatment).The general information,AOFAS scores,Liu ankle joint collateral ligament injury scores,curative rate and incidence rate of complications were compared between two groups.Results The general information showed no significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The AOFAS total scores,the daily activity scores and the Liu ankle joint collateral ligament injury scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The curative rate in the observation group was 90.9％,which was significantly higher than 69.0％ in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in incidence rate of complications between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Surgical open reduction is effective and safe in treatment of patients with fracture of anterior lateral rotation of ankle joint.
