Abstract

Ninety-four conservatively treated patients with Lauge Hansen Stage II supination-eversion fractures of the ankle were interviewed after 16–25 years. Patients with pain were examined clinically and radiographically. Eighty-nine patients had good and five medium results. Our observations compare wen with published reports of open treatment. we conclude that this particular fracture type is so benign that it can be treated closed without reduction.
