RODRIGUEZ, Yaniel; CABRERA SUAREZ, Juan; GóMEZ GIL, Indira  y  REQUEIRO MOREJóN, José. Internal Fixation of Open Ankle Fracture. Report of Two Cases. Medisur [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.5, pp.757-762. ISSN 1727-897X.

Open ankle fracture is sporadically seen in the orthopedic practice. Its clinical course is subject to multiple factors, showing a propensity to cause ankle osteoarthritis over the years. Two cases treated at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University General Hospital in Cienfuegos are presented. The patients underwent emergency surgical treatment consisting of surgical cleaning of the open wound, reduction of the dislocation and internal fixation of the fracture. These cases are presented due to the infrequency of this type of ankle injury and its importance for the medical staff, especially orthopedic doctors.

Palabras clave : fracture fixation, internal; fractures, open; ankle fractures; case reports.
