  ABSTRACT: Posttraumatic osteoarthritis is a serious complication mostly involving weight bearing joints. It is not yet possible to predict which patients would develop posttraumatic osteoarthritis at a clinically relevant level. It is a common notion that, in comminuted fractures of the ankle joint that are highly likely to result in posttraumatic arthritis, interventions that aim to reduce the development of arthrosis should be attempted or achieving an ankle in an acceptable position for arthrodesis in the later periods should be targeted. Open type of fracture, a possible risk of infection and the duration of wound closure play a crucial role in the treatment of fracture, which is the main injury. In order to gain a better understanding of the importance of the treatment method to be chosen for the treatment of the trauma involving the ankle, a review of the information about ankle arthrodesis, which has an important place in the treatment of osteoarthritis, would be sufficient. We reviewed general principles and surgical approaches about this subject.
