Bimalleolar Ankle Fracture Fixation: Restoring Stability to the Ankle Joint
Bimalleolar ankle fractures involve both the medial and lateral malleoli and usually require surgical fixation to restore joint stability and prevent long-term arthritis.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Orthopaedic surgeon fee: SGD 6,500 – 10,200
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,800 – 2,800
Implants, imaging, and post-operative care add to total cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary fracture fixation
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
• Trauma-related implants
Insurance Tip
Confirm whether implant costs (plates/screws) are reimbursed at cost or subject to caps.
Conclusion
Ankle stability determines mobility. Insurance should fully support definitive fixation.
