Abstract

|
|
Purpose:To evaluate the radiographic results of the treatment for Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fracture with 2 cannulated screws.
Materials and Methods:Thirty-four cases of Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fracture were available. Follow-up averaged 8 montsh (6-25 months). The medial clear space for lateral displacement of talus, talo-crural angle for lateral malleolar shortening, and malunion evidence of lateral malleolar fracture were observed.
Results:Medial clear space was from 2mm to 4mm in 34 cases. Talo-crural angle was from 73° to 82.5° in 33 cases. One case was complicated with malunion of lateral malleolus. But, we found the same condition in the immediate post-operative radiographic film.
Conclusion:We believe that the 2 cannulated screws fixation for Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar simple fractures is an excellent treatment method.
