This paper presents analysis of the results of the treatment of ankle fracture. A follow-up study was performed on 40 of 65 cases of ankle fracture treated surgically between 1977 and 1984. The fractures were grouped into five types according to the classificassion of Lauge-Hansen. The subjective clinical results were good in 38 and fair in 2 and the objective clinical results were good in 34 and fair in 6 according to the Gregory's evaluation. The anatomical reduction affected significantly the clinical results.
