INTRODUCTION: In this retrospective case-series study we discuss the clinical and radiographic outcomes obtained following the "tibia-first concept" in the treatment of distal tibia fractures, both in patients with fibular comminution and in cases with a simple fibula fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analysed a consecutive series of 64 patients who presented at our emergency department with a distal articular tibial and fibular fracture from January 2015 to September 2020. A total of 22 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the study. Clinical and radiographic examination were performed at each follow-up. To quantify pain and functional disability, the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society's ankle-hindfoot scale (AOFAS) were applied.
RESULTS: The overall mean age was 52.8 years, and the mean follow-up was 13.18 months. Multiple scales data from the FAOS were as follows: pain score 80.70; symptoms score 81.69; activities of daily living score 87.22; quality of life 76.05. The mean AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was 74.36.
CONCLUSIONS: Even though the principles of Rüedi and Allgöwer are still valid, in specific circumstances, the tibia-first concept could be considered as a valid option for the treatment of these demanding fractures. If a good reduction is obtained intra-operatively by ligamentotaxis, we recommend fixing the tibia first, avoiding surgical stress on tissues derived from a previous fibular fixation.
