Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To investigate biomechanics characteristics of martial arts ankle injury, to summarize and analyze repair and intervention means of bone biomaterials intervention after ankle fracture.
METHODS: PubMed database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed) and CNKI database (www.cnki.net/index.htm) were retrieved on computer, using key words of “ankle, fractures, biological materials, treatment” in English and in Chinese in the title and abstracts. Articles related to ankle injuries and treatment, material science characteristics, biocompatibility and application effect were included, those recently published or published in the authority journal were preferred in the same field. Totally 30 articles were included.
RESULTS: The ankle joint is the starter of human body bounce, also landing buffer unit, ankle fracture is very common because of several internal and external factors during the movement. With the advances of modern medicine, it has become increasingly mature that using artificial biological materials to promote the fracture healing and rehabilitation, but little information is known regarding the rehabilitation of ankle fractures.
CONCLUSION: Good results have been achieved in terms of bone rehabiltation material selection, processing and surface modification. With the advanced method and technology of cell biology and molecular biology, as well as the use of gene therapy, the repair of ankle joint bone injury will enter a new phase, also offers the possibility and evidence for the proper use of artificial materials for the recovery of ankle joint fractures.
