fractures, but in all of them was possible to achieved a satisfactory reduction either orthopaedically
or with a minimal osteosynthesis. Functional bellow-the-knee bracings was performed
according to Esteve. Different parameters such as motion, pain, walking ability and fracture stability
were clinically assesed. Fracture reduction and joint consolidation were radiographically
evaluated with weight-bearig in the affected leg. The age average was 53 years. Among fractures
predominated casual fall etiology (86%) and supination type. The duration of the no loading immovilization
period way 3-4 weeks. The functional casting period was 4 weeks and the readaptative
period was 2-3 weeks. Based on the clinical and radiological assessments, the results were
