TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Epidemiology of ankle fracture 1950 and 1980. Increasing incidence in elderly women JO - Acta orthopaedica Scandinavica A1 - Bengnér, U. A1 - Johnell, O. A1 - Redlund-Johnell, I. SP - 35 EP - 37 VL - 57 IS - 1 N2 - During 1980-82, 739 ankle fractures occurred in Malmö. These were compared with 383 ankle fractures occurring in 1950-52. In men there was an increase in the age-specific incidence up to the age of 60, especially in fractures of the lateral malleolus. In women there was an increase in the age-specific incidence above the age of 50, both in lateral malleolar fractures and, even more pronounced, in bi- and tri- malleolar fractures.
