Abstract

Back Ground:Ankle joint is a close-tting complex hinge joint. The attachments of ligaments increase the complexity of inferior tibio-bular & tibio- talar joint. Ankle fractures can lead to long term morbidity with pain, arthritis & joint instability. So management of the ankle fractures are challenging for the surgeons.Materials & Methods:Acomparative study was done with 40 cases of medial malleolus fracture treated surgically at Government General Hospital, Srikakulam from June 2020 to October 2022 & studied for 6-18 months. 15 fractures were treated by tension band wire & 25 fractures by screw xation. Results: Tension Band wire gave excellent results in small & osteoporotic fractures. Screw xation gave excellent results in vertical fractures. Range of motion was better in screw xation. Radiation exposure was less in TBW but operation time is higher. There was no signicant difference in union time, Infection rate & functional outcome between both the procedures. Average time for bony union for screw xation was 10.8 weeks & 10 weeks for tension band wire. Conclusion:Both the methods can be done in malleolar fractures. TBW can be preferred in small & Osteoporotic fractures & screw xation should be preferred in vertical fractures due to selective advantages
