U.S., April 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07511478) titled 'Fibula Plating vs Intramedullary K-Wire in Bimalleolar Ankle Fractures' on March 28.
Brief Summary: This study was conducted to compare the functional outcomes of two commonly used fixation techniques for bimalleolar ankle fractures: fibula plating and intramedullary K-wire fixation with medial malleolar screw. Bimalleolar fractures are commonly caused by rotational injuries, often due to low-energy trauma such as falls, although high-energy mechanisms like road traffic accidents can result in more complex fracture patterns with associated soft tissue injury. The ankle joint is a complex osteoligamentous structure, and its stability...
