Medial Malleolar Fracture Management—A Comparative Study of Radiological Outcome between Open Reduction Internal Fixation and Closed Reduction Percutaneous Fixation

Abstract Background Medial malleolus fracture is commonly seen nowadays in orthopaedic practice. There are different modalities of treatment based on pattern and socioeconomic status. Undisplaced can be managed by cast application. Various surgical available treating medial like tension band wiring, cancellous screw or cortical fixation, plate Kirschner wire, suture anchors. The purpose our study was to evaluate radiological outcome with open reduction internal fixation closed percutaneous fixation. Materials Methods Our included 67 patients who met inclusion criteria were divided into two groups. Group 1 52 malleolar fractures cases treated either wiring. Other 15 group 2 cannulated screw. All postoperative evaluated at 1st month, 2nd 3rd 6th year. We patient clinically union fractures. Results In out there male preponderance average age 46.55 years. Right-side more compared left-side Most common mode injury road traffic accident. Transverse number study. Average time 13.46 weeks 15.14 weeks. Fracture 96.15% 93.33%. Conclusion study, early This could due direct visualization site good approximation fragments technique.
