The authors reviewed 24 cases of the ankle fracture those were treated using gripper plate from February, 1989 to November. 1991.
@ES The results were as follows.
@EN 1. The average age of the patients was 48 years.
2. Main cause of the injury was slip down(16 cases, 66%) and the others were fall down, traffic accident, and sports injury in orders.
3. The proper indications of Gripper plate fixation were Danis-Wever type A. B. and Lauge-Hansen supination-external rotation fractures.
4. The Gripper plate was very useful for fixation of the lateral malleolar fractures just proximal or distal to the ankle joint level, especially in elderly patients with osteoporosis and the fracture that is inadequate to fix with the other
methods
due to its small size of the fragment and comminution.
