Abstract
El conocimiento acerca del manejo de las fracturas de tobillo ha tenido un gran crecimiento los últimos años. La tomografía axial computarizada y el mejor entendimiento biomecánico han renovado conceptos tanto del diagnóstico como del tratamiento. Pese a ello, actualmente existen consideraciones sobre el manejo de fracturas maleolares sin consenso. Esta revisión pretende actualizar conceptos sobre el estudio y manejo de las fracturas de tobillo. Serán discutidos los conceptos de estabilidad, estudios radiológicos, uso de tomografía axial computarizada, manejo de lesiones ligamentarias asociadas (ligamento deltoideo y sindesmosis) y manejo de fracturas del maléolo posterior. Se planteará la opinión de los autores y la evidencia en la literatura para cada pregunta propuesta.
Our understanding of the management of ankle fractures has significantly improved in recent years. Computerized axial tomography and better biomechanical insights have renewed the underlying concepts for both diagnosis and treatment. Notwithstanding, some aspects of the management of malleolar fractures still lack consensus. This review aims to update concepts on the study and management of ankle fractures. Stability, radiological studies, computerized axial tomography, management of associated ligament injuries (deltoid ligament and syndesmosis), and posterior malleolus fractures are covered in the article. The authors’ opinions and the evidence are discussed for each question.
