Cannulated screw and Kirschner fixation for the treatment of medial and lateral malleolar epiphyseal fractures in children: a retrospective study of 36 cases

摘要

BackgroundPercutaneous fixation with cannulated screws is an effective method for treating medial malleolar epiphyseal fractures, which comprise a portion of bimalleolar and trimalleolar fractures. Lateral malleolar fractures also need to be fixed to achieve anatomical reduction and absolute stable fixation of the ankle. However, there are no individual studies in the literature on this topic.
