Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical value of surgical fixation in patients with ankle fracture with lower tibiofibular syndesmosis injury.Methods A total of 70 patients with ankle fracture and lower tibiofibular syndesmosis injury from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method.Thirty-five cases were treated with external plaster fixation (control group) and 35 cases were treated with internal surgical fixation (observation group).The treatment and rehabilitation outcomes,ankle function (Kofoed score) and ability of daily living (ADL score),postoperative complication incidence rate of the two groups were evaluated.Results The effective rates of treatment were 94.29% and 77.14% in observation group and control group (P＜0.05).The observation group has a faster recovery rate and a lower rate of secondary operations (P＜0.05).There were no significant difference in Kofoed score and ADL score between the two groups before operation (P>0.05).After operation,the Kofoed score and ADL score in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The postoperative complication incidence in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions The implementation of internal surgical fixation in patients with ankle fracture and lower tibiofibular syndesmosis injury had significant value for early fracture healing and ligament injury repair,reduced the secondary operation rate and controlling the postoperative complication risk,promoted the early recovery of joint function and achieved ideal clinical effect.
