“…Ankle fractures contribute to almost nine percent of all fractures of the weight-bearing joints, with uni, bi, and trimalleolar fractures being the most prevalent [1]. Ankle fracture-dislocations are more common in young males and are caused by vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or falls [2]. These injuries are typically caused by trauma with high energy [2,3].…”

“…Ankle fracture-dislocations are more common in young males and are caused by vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or falls [2]. These injuries are typically caused by trauma with high energy [2,3]. Mortise fractures or syndesmotic disruption, the total displacement of the tibial astragaloid joint, capsuloligamentous structural instability, and significant soft-tissue injury are the most prevalent ankle injuries [4].…”

Ankle fractures contribute to almost nine percent of all fractures of the weight-bearing joints, with uni, bi, and trimalleolar fractures being the most prevalent. Weber’s and (AO/ASIF) classifications are commonly used for easy analysis. Tibial plateau fractures can range in severity from stable to severely comminuted unstable fractures with extensive tissue injury, putting the extremities' at risk, according to the Schatzker grading system. The ulna is a long bone in the forearm that extends parallel to the radius and travels medially. The severity of proximal ulna fractures ranges from basic AO/OTA Classification fractures to severe Monteggia fractures or Monteggia-like lesions. After a road accident, a 35-year-old man with compound grade 3B ankle dislocation, Schatzker type 1 fracture of tibia, and proximal 1/3 ulnar shaft fracture of the left side were diagnosed on x-ray with external application of a delta fixator over the ankle, open reduction and internal fixation on the tibial plateau with screws and the nail was impacted over the ulna fracture. After the procedure, the patient was treated with physical therapy for 12 weeks, beginning with static regimens and proceeding to dynamic exercises, electrotherapeutic modalities, strengthening exercises, and gait exercises. The purpose of this study was to explore potential favorable rehabilitation effects in the use of exercises following operatively treated unstable ankle fractures requiring partial weight-bearing in the first six postoperative weeks. Conclusion: It could be shown that Immediate Postoperative Physical Therapy protocol in a proper scheduled manner helped the Patient to return to his daily activities with improved ranges, strength, and motivation to work again without any difficulties.
