However, these fractures may sometimes require stronger fixation due to the diaphyseal fracture location and the lack of structural support from injured ligaments. To increase stability, 3.5 mm plates can be used, but these plates are bulky and too stiff to contour. As alternative, the authors present the technique and clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of using stacked one-third tubular plating for suprasyndesmotic fibula fractures to increase stability of fixation. Between 2021 and 2023, 14 patients were treated with stacked one-third tubular plating. All patients healed uneventfully. One patient developed an infection with wound breakdown and exposed hardware after fracture healing. Thirteen patients (93%) responded to PROs. The median Olerud-Molander ankle score was 75 (interquartile range [IQR]: 30-80), the median EQ-5D-5L score was 80 (IQR: 69-81), and the median numeric rating scale (NRS) score was 3 (IQR: 0-5). The use of double-stacked one-third tubular plates is a simple and safe technique that can be used to increase stability of suprasyndesmotic fibula fractures leading to reliable healing rates and satisfactory PROs.<b>Levels of Evidence:</b> <i>Level IV Retrospective Case Series</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":73046,"journal":{"name":"Foot & ankle specialist","volume":" ","pages":"19386400241298820"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142689874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our aim was to compare acute open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with delayed ORIF, using external fixation or cast splint in ankle fracture-dislocations. Factors that affect the rates of re-operation and Surgical site infection (SSI) were identified. In this retrospective cohort study, patients were included with open and closed ankle fracture-dislocations treated with ORIF from two large peripheral hospitals and one academic center in the Netherlands. This study included 447 patients with an ankle fracture-dislocation. In the multivariate analysis, the difference between surgery <48 hours compared to bridging with cast or external fixation had no significant influence on unscheduled re-operation or SSI. Higher body mass index (BMI) and open fractures had a significant positive correlation with re-operation while diabetes mellitus (DM) and open fractures correlated with SSI. In patients with open fractures, there was also no significant difference in outcome between acute or delayed internal fixation. We suggest that it is safe to perform primary ORIF on all dislocated ankle fractures if the soft tissue injury allows surgery within 48 hours. When significant swelling is present, patients with well-reduced fractures and with no soft tissue injury could be treated safely with a cast until delayed ORIF is possible.<b>Level of Evidence:</b> <i>Therapeutic level 2B (retrospective cohort study)</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":73046,"journal":{"name":"Foot & ankle specialist","volume":" ","pages":"19386400241273105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142378665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
