  ABSTRACT: Introduction and Background: Ankle injury is one of the most frequent presenting injuries to the emergency room and ankle fractures are common fracture in the lower limbs injuries that may require operative treatment with variable outcomes. Materials and Methods: Sixty-three patients were included in my retrospective study, and all with a displaced fracture of the ankle caused by high energy trauma were treated by open reduction and rigid internal fixation. Results: After follow-up at six weeks and twelve weeks, the results were satisfactory in fifty-five percent out of all the sixty-three patients. Conclusions and Recommendations: Ankle fractures occur mainly in young males of the age group between 26 and 35 years, mostly caused by fall down and motor vehicle accident.
