RESUMO

Background: Pott's fracture is eponym of bimalleolar fracture, which account for one fourth of patients of ankle injury, it is more common in women, people over 60 years of age. There has been an increase in the prevalence of one such fracture over the last two decades both in the young, active patients and in the elderly. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and functional results of patients with bimalleolar fractures treated with semi tubular / reconstruction plating or intra medullary k-wire in fibula along with medial malleolar screw. Material And Method: This was a prospective randomized comparative study carried out using fibula plating and intramedullary k wire for fixation of lateral malleolus fracture and malleolar screw fixation for fracture medial malleolus among 60 patients admitted in S.M.S Hospital, Jaipur during the study period of April 2018 to December 2019. Informed consent was taken and functional assessment of patient was done at 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge according to the Modified ankle score of Olerud Molander. Results: The quantitative data was presented as mean and standard deviation and were compared by student's t-test. Probability was considered to be significant if less than 0.05. There was a significant differences (P=0.008 & P=0.001) in both the groups on the basis of mean duration of partial weight bearing (weeks) and initiation of full weight bearing (weeks). There was a significant difference in both the groups on the basis OMAscore at 1, 3 and 6 months. Conclusion: The final functional outcome was compared by Modified Olerud & Molander Score. 24 (80%) cases in fibula plating group had excellent to good results whereas, 15 (50%) cases in intramedullary k wire group had excellent to good results (P=0.010). In conclusion, cases managed by Fibula Platting had better functional outcome as compared to those treated by Intramedullary K Wire group.
