The best time to operate on a triple ankle fracture is about a week after the soft tissue swelling around the fracture has basically subsided, and it may take up to 10 days for a longer period of time. Don’t rush to do the surgery because the risk of surgical infection is extremely high in the swollen state, and there is no difference between doing the surgery on the 3rd day after the fracture and the surgery on the 10th day, and there is no big impact on the recovery of the fracture. During this process, it is possible to improve the CT 3D reconstruction of the fracture site and other related examinations to determine the dislocation of the entire joint surface, so as to fully prepare for the development of the surgical plan. The risk of infection of the whole operation is minimized, and the operation takes very short time, because the time left for the doctor to make preparations is long enough, and in turn the postoperative recovery is fast.
