Objective To investigate the effect of locking plate combined with cortical screw internal fixation on ankle function and quality of life in patients with ankle fracture with tibiofibular separation.Methods A total of 120 patients with ankle fracture and distal tibiofibular separation treated in our hospital from May 2020 to December 2021 were selected and divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method,with 60 patients/group.The control group was treated with cortical screw fixation alone,and the observation group was treated with locking plate combined with cortical screw internal fixation.Before surgery and 6 months after surgery,the recovery function of the two groups was compared.X-ray,operation duration,healing time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative complications were compared,and the living ability of the two groups of patients was evaluated.Results Before treatment,there was no difference in joint function between the two groups(P＞0.05).After treatment,the longest walking of the control group(15.89±0.85),foot alignment(15.06±0.71),pain response(29.03±4.48)and ground walking(15.65±0.59).The longest walking distance(16.19±0.87),foot alignment(15.29±0.76),pain response(31.24±4.55)and ground walking(15.96±0.68)in the observation group,which were higher than those in control group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the intraoperative blood loss and healing time in the observation group were lower(P＜0.05).BI index of the two groups before treatment had no difference(P＞0.05);After treatment,BI index of observation group was higher than that of control group(P＜0.05).There was no difference in the total complication rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Locking plate combined with cortical screw internal fixation has a good therapeutic effect on improving ankle function,reducing intraoperative blood loss,promoting healing and improving behavioral ability in the treatment of ankle fracture combined with hypotibiofibular syndesmosis injury.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of micro-fracture therapy combined with intra-articular injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of small sized osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). Methods: Between September 2014 and October 2017, 43 patients with small sized OLT met the inclusive criteria were admitted and randomly divided into micro-fracture group (21 cases) and combined group (22 cases). Patients in the micro-fracture group were treated with micro-fracture therapy, and patients in the combined group were treated with micro-fracture therapy combined with intra-articular injection of PRP. There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, side of OLT, injured position, lesion area, Mintz classification, and preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hind foot score and visual analogue scale (VAS) score between the two groups ( P>0.05). After treatment, MRI, VAS score, and AOFAS ankle-hind foot score were used to evaluate the recovery of OLT and the ankle function. Results: All incisions healed by first intention, and no complications such as venous thrombosis and ankle joint infection occurred. All patients were followed up 12-18 months after operation, with an average of 15.6 months. The VAS scores and the AOFAS ankle-hind foot scores were significantly improved at 6 and 12 months after operation in the two groups ( P<0.05), and the scores at 12 months were significantly improved when compared with postoperative scores at 6 months ( P<0.05). Compared with the micro-fracture group, the VAS score and the AOFAS ankle-hind foot score were significantly improved in the combined group at 6 and 12 months after operation ( P<0.05). MRI showed that OLT was well filled in both groups at 12 months after operation. Conclusion: Compared with micro- fracture therapy, micro-fracture therapy combined with intra-articular injection of PRP can effectively reduce pain, improve ankle function, and has a good effectiveness in the treatment of small sized OLT.
