Epidemiology of Ankle Fractures in Korea: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.
Although ankle fractures are among the most common fractures, nationwide population-based data on the epidemiology of patients with ankle fractures are scarce. This study aimed to perform an epidemiological analysis of all ankle fractures in Korea from 2010 through 2018. ⋯ Ankle fracture risk was different between sex and exhibited seasonal variations. Our findings can be used for epidemiological awareness and prevention campaigns for ankle fractures.
