Abstract
The epidemiology of ankle fractures in old people is changing as time passes on. The incidence of ankle fractures increases with advancing age. The study conducted was among a rural population which comprised of 68 women (32 women with ankle fractures & 36 women with foot fractures). Patients studied were in the age group more than 50 years. The study highlights the etiological and risk factors for fractures of ankle and foot. The commonest ankle fracture was the lateral malleolar fracture & the commonest foot fracture was the 5th Metatarsal fracture. Diabetes is a risk factor which increases the occurrence of ankle and foot injuries.

Key words: Elderly women, Osteoporosis, Risk factors, Fracture lateral malleolus, Fracture 5th metatarsal
