Rotational ankle fractures can present with an array of possible osseous and ligamentous injury combinations in reliable anatomic locations. What accounts for these different injury patterns and whether specific patient and injury factors underlie the different injury patterns is unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether causative factors exist that could account for the various injury patterns seen with rotational ankle fractures.

In our cohort of SER IV ankle fractures, regional bone density at the ankle significantly correlated with the presence and number of malleolar fractures compared with ligamentous ruptures. Treating surgeons can use this information to anticipate bone quality during operative fixation based on ankle fracture injury pattern. In addition, the presence of a trimalleolar ankle fracture was a significant indicator of poor bone quality and may represent the first clinical sign of abnormal bone metabolism in many patients.
