Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the clinical features and computed tomography images of posterior ankle fractures. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 29 patients with posterior closed ankle fractures treated with screw splints at Gia Dinh People’s Hospital from 2019-2021. Result: Type C according to Bartonicek classification accounted for the most proportion with 37.93% (11/29 cases), followed by type B with 31.03% (9/29 cases) and type D with 27 cases. 59% (8/29 cases), only 1/29 cases (3.45%) are type A. Facet joint unsteadiness level greater than 3mm accounted for 38% (11/29 cases), however this rate on normal X-ray, only 17.2% (5/29 cases) were recorded. Conclusion: Most patients have Bartonicek classification type C, followed by type B and type D. The facet joint unsteadiness level above 3mm accounted for mainly on CT scan.
