Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Artrosis of the ankle, classified according to the AO-scale.
Secondary outcome
Function
Questionnaire: AOFAS-, AAOS-, VAS-scale
Background summary
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis in trimalleolar fractures are, according to the
most publications, a matter of long term. Osteoarthritis is a slow proces,
therefore we think that early damage according to a trimalleolar fracture will
be visible on short term. This is supported by our clinical findings of early
osteoarthrits on different patients 4,5 years after ankle surgery.
Study objective
Determination of post-traumatic osteoarthritis in patients with a short
follow-up period after ankle-surgery.
Study design
Patients with ankle-surgery of a trimalleolar fracture between 2008 and 2010
will be recalled back to the hospital and two new X-ankles will be made. They
will also answer answer a questionnaire (AOFAS, AAOS, VAS) and will undergo a
review of the ankle by the observer.
Study burden and risks
The risk of damage by radiation is very small. The dose will be even smaller
than 1% of the year-dose-background-radiation in the Netherlands. So this risk
will be negligible small.
