Abstract

Abstract:

Logsplitter injury of ankle joint is a kind of severe fracture with dislocation, which is mainly caused by vertical violence and supplemented by rotational violence, and often leads to severe ankle bone structure and ligament injury. It is a challenge to deal with such injuries. It is necessary to fully understand them and properly deal with them to reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications. This article reviewed the relevant research on ankle joint Logsplitter injury in recent years, with a view to providing reference for clinicians and researchers.

Key words: Ankle joint, Fractures, bone, Dislocations, Wounds and injuries
