Comparison on the Effects of Different Internal Fixation Screw Insertion Directions in the Treatment of Ankle Fractures
Objective To explore the effects of different internal fixation screw directions in the treatment of ankle fractures.Methods 82 patients with ankle fractures admitted to our hospital were treated with screw internal fixation and divided into control group(41 cases,anterior posterior fixation)and study group(41 cases,posterior anterior fixation)according to different screw insertion directions.The treatment effect,fracture healing and ankle function were compared between the two groups.Results The postoperative hospitalization time and fracture healing time of the study group were shorter than those of the control group(P<0.05).The excellent and good rates of fracture healing and ankle function in the study group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions In the treatment of ankle fractures through the posterior lateral approach,the posterior anterior fixation direction for screws has better clinical effect than that of anterior posterior fixation,resulting in faster fracture healing and better recovery of ankle joint function.
