Plate versus screws fixation for the posterior malleolar fragment in trimalleolar ankle fractures
Injury(2022)
Abstract
Plate fixation might have better articular step-off or gap, compared with "A to P" screws fixation for the posterior malleolus in trimalleolar ankle fractures. Screw fixation could achieve shorter surgical time than plate fixation. However, no significant differences were found in AOFAS scores, arthritis, infection, sural nerve injury and total complication during the comparisons.
