Objective:Approximately 1% of the world's adult population is affected by joint pain and disability resulting from ankle osteoarthritis (OA). The ankle posttraumatic OA (ankle PTOA) accounts for 78% of ankle OA in etiology. Moreover, malleolar fracture, which is present in 37-53% of ankle OA, is the most common type of fracture. However, there is no animal model available today. Here, we established a rat ankle OA induced by melleolar fracture for ankle OA research.
