Abstract
Sixty-nine patients with bi- or trimalleolar ankle fractures were evaluated in a questionnaire on an average of 9.6 years after their fracture. Patients with primary clinically severely dislocated ankle joints had significantly more complaints than patients with nondislocated ankle joints. The prognostic importance of this condition is emphasized.
