Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of surgical treatments for delayed ankles fracture combined with distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries （AFTSI）. Methods A retrospective study the operative effects of 38 cases of delayed AFTSI treated with open reduction and internal fixation （ORIF） + Tightrope fixation （group A, n = 18） or ORIF + screw fixation （group B, n = 20） for syndesmosis injuries. AOFAS （Ankle-Hindfoot Score system）, hospital stay, operative time, introperative blood loss, full weightbearing time, difference value between preoperative and postoperative tibiofibular clear space （TFCS） and tibiofibular overlap （TFO） were used to evaluate the postoperative curative effect. All patients were received a follow-up with an average of 18 months, and the syndesmosis screws were removed 2-3 months after operations. Results AOFAS score was higher in group A than in group B, postoperative onset time of full weightbearing was earlier in group A than in group B statistically （P < 0. 05）, while no statistics difference were found between 2 groups in the factors of hospital stay, operative time, introperative blood loss, and the difference value between preoperative and postoperative time on TFCS together with TFO. Conclusion Tightrope syndesmosis fixation is a better options to enable early weight bearing for the delayed AFTSI compared with the traditional screws fixation.
- Delayed ankle fracture,
- Syndesmosis injury,
- Surgical management,
- Dynamic stabilization
