Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify the features of anthropometric and bioimpedancemetric parameters in patients with a lateral malleolus fracture and damage to the ligamentous apparatus of the ankle joint.

Materials and methods: The study involved 91 mature men, each of whom underwent an-thropometry according to V.V. Bunak, calculated body mass index, waist/hip index, determined the absolute and relative content of fat and active cell mass, total water, fat-free mass and phase angle by bioimpedance analysis.

Results: Using statistical analysis, it was found that in the first period of mature age, the body length of men with ankle fractures is less, and body weight is greater than in a similar age group of men with ligament damage. The thigh girth was determined to be the largest in the group of patients with damage to the ligamentous apparatus. Bioimpedance analysis revealed that in patients with a fracture, the absolute fat mass values were higher, and the absolute and relative active cell mass values were lower than in the group with ligament damage (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: The study demonstrates a close relationship between the above parameters and the likelihood of developing a fracture or ligament damage, which emphasizes the relevance of using anthropometric examination and bioimpedance analysis in traumatology and orthopedics.
