What is Lauge Hansen Ankle Fracture Guide about?

The Lauge Hansen classification system categorizes ankle fractures into six types based on two factors: 1) the position of the foot at injury (supination or pronation) and 2) the motion of the talus that causes the fracture pattern. It identifies whether the initial injury involves bone or ligament disruption. The system is useful as the fracture pattern and presence/absence of syndesmotic injury can help determine appropriate treatment.
