No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with a posterior malleolar fracture were recruited and assigned to the direct reduction (DR) group or the indirect reduction (IR) group. Following reduction and fixation of the fracture, the quality of fracture reduction was evaluated in radiograph and CT images. Functional outcome was evaluated at the last follow-up.

Conditions

  • Posterior Malleolus Fractures

Interventions

PROCEDURE

direct fracture reduction and fixation

In the DR group, the posterior malleolar fracture was reduced and fixed in a direct way via a posterolateral approach with the patients in prone position.

PROCEDURE

indirect fracture reduction and fixation

In the IR group, the posterior malleolus was reduced through ligamentotaxis following open reduction and internal fixation of lateral and medial malleolar fractures. Percutaneous cannulated screws were used to fix the posterior malleolar in anterior-to-posterior direction.
