BACKGROUND: We examined whether the intramedullary nailing (IMN) can be used as an alternative modality to the plate fixation (PF) in patients with distal fibular fracture with displaced fragments.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The eligible patients of two treatment arms (IMN group: n=30 and the group: n=31) were evaluated at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postoperatively, for which functional outcome measures include differences in the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Scores (AOFAS) and the Olerud Molander Ankle Scores (OMAS) between the two groups. In addition, radiological outcome measures include differences in radiological outcome scores at 12 months between the two groups. Differences in the percentage of frequency of postoperative complications between the two groups served as safety outcome measures.
RESULTS: At 3 months, the AOFAS and OMAS were significantly higher in the IMN group as compared with the PF group (p<0.0001 and p=0.0177, respectively). At 6 months, the AOFAS were significantly higher in the IMN group as compared with the PF group (p=0.0255). But there were no significant differences in the OMAS between the two groups (p=0.1077). At 9 and 12 months, there were no significant differences in the AOFAS and OMAS between the two groups (p=0.4334 and 0.3227, respectively at 9 months and p=0.8731 and 0.7610, respectively, at 12 months). These results indicate that the IMN group achieved a faster recovery as compared with the PF group. At 12 months, the radiological outcome scores were 3.67±0.60 in the IMN group and 3.71±0.52 in the PF group (p=0.7816). All the patients of each group achieved a bony union at 12 months. At 12 months, the percentage of frequency of postoperative complications was significantly lower in the IMN group as compared with the PF group (p=0.0227).
CONCLUSIONS: The IMN might be considered as an alternative surgical modality to the PF in patients with distal fibular fracture with displaced fragments. But further large-scale, multi-center studies are warranted to establish our results.
