Total function, pain did not differ between direct, indirect fixation of ankle fractures

CHICAGO — Results presented here showed no differences in patient-reported outcome measures in terms of total function and total pain among patients who underwent either direct or indirect surgical fixation of trimalleolar ankle fractures.
Luke G. Menken, DO, and colleagues compared total pain and total function through Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scores between patients with trimalleolar ankle fractures who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with either direct surgical fixation of the posterior malleolus (n=40) or indirect surgical fixation of
