Errors and complications in the treatment of 116 patients with ankle fractures were analyzed, which required iterated operative treatment. The rate of mistakes and complications encountered at primary diagnosis and treatment was 59.5%. Complications associated with the type of fracture constituted 37,1%. The failure of the patient to adhere to doctors recommendations was revealed in 3,7% cases. These unsuccessful results highlight the importance of orthopedic surgeons training and the need to follow all necessary procedures.

Key words: ankle fracture, posttraumatic osteoarthritis of ankle.
