Abstract:

Objective

From 2015 to 2019, aged people with ankle fractures admitted to the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University were collected, whose clinical and imaging data were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of ankle fractures in the elderly.

Methods

The data of patients were summarized by using Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and Hospital Information System (HIS). The characteristics of age distribution, sex distribution, side distribution, Body Mass Index (BMI) and AO classification of ankle fractures in the elderly patients were analyzed.

Results

A total of 376 elderly patients with ankle fracture were included in this study, aged 60 to 95 years old, with an average of (66.33±6.01) years old, including 153 males (40.69%) and 223 females (59.31%), with a male-female ratio of 1:1.46. The highest incidence of fracture was in the age group of 60 to 69 years old (78.19%). There was statistical difference in the side distribution among different gender groups of elderly patients with ankle fracture. According to AO/OTA classification, there were 167 cases (44.41%) of 44-A, 157 cases (41.76%) of 44-B, and 52 cases (13.83%) of 44-C. The mean BMI of the patients was 24.86 kg/m2 (16.04 kg/m2 to 36.65 kg/m2). Among all the patients, 55 patients (14.63%) had a history of diabete and 112 patients (29.79%) were diagnosed with hypertension.

Conclusion

The highest incidence of fracture was in the age group of 60 to 69 years old, and the risk of fracture in women is higher than that in men. Anklef ractures are more likely to occur on the right side in men.
