ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the outcome of posterolateral approach to the fibula for trimalleolar fractures,especially the fracture in posterior malleolus.Methods Thirty-two patients with trimalleolar fractures treated via posterolateral transmalleolar approach from July 2006 to July 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.All underwent open reduction and internal fixation,including 22 Lauge-Hansen grade Ⅳ supination-external rotation ankle fractures and 10 Lauge-Hansen grade Ⅳ pronation-extemal rotation ankle fractures.Results All fractures had bone union after the follow-up of average 15.5 months (range,12-18 months).Average American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 90.75points,suggesting an excellent result.Kellgren grading system for posttraumatic arthritis severity was grade 0 in eight patients,grade Ⅰ in 18,grade Ⅱ in five,and grade Ⅲ in one,which turned out to be satisfactory.Conclusions Posterolateral approach to the fibula for trimalleolar fractures allows direct reduction and fixation of posterior malleolus fragment in treatment of trimalleolar factures and the clinical outcome is satisfactory.Moreover,the approach deserves clinical practice.
