Abstract:Objective To compare the clinical effects of surgical repair and simple plaster immobilization on patients with lateral collateral ligament injury and lateral malleolar avulsion fracture, in order to provide reference for the clinical treatment of patients with lateral collateral ligament injury and lateral malleolus avulsion fracture. Methods A total of 63 patients with lateral collateral ligament injury and lateral malleolus avulsion fracture treated in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, from August 2017 to June 2021 were included in this study. According to the surgical method, the included patients were divided into two groups. Thirty-three cases in group A were treated with anatomic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament (fixation and resection according to the size of the fracture fragment), and 30 cases in group B were treated with plaster immobilization. After treatment, the two groups were followed up regularly to observe the pain, range of motion, walking gait and movement status of the affected ankle joint. The visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, American orthopedic foot and ankle society (AOFAS) score, Karlsson-Peterso ankle joint function score, and talus anterior displacement were compared and analyzed before and after operation. Results There were statistically significant differences of the VAS scores between the two groups, time and interaction (P < 0.05). Among them, the 6 and 18 months after operation in the two groups were lower than those before operation, and the 18 months after operation was lower than that at 6 months after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); 6 months after operation the VAS score of group A was lower than that of group B, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The postoperative Karlsson score of the two groups were higher than that before operation, while the group A was higher than the group B, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences of AOFAS score between the two groups, time and interaction (P < 0.05). The AOFAS scores of the two groups at 1, 3, and 18 months after the operation were higher than those before the operation, while the AOFAS scores of the group A at the 3 and 18 months after the operation were higher than those at the 1 month after the operation, and the AOFAS scores of the two groups at 18 months after the operation were higher than those at 3 months after the operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the AOFAS score of group A was higher than that of group B at 3 and 18 months after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the distance of talus advancement difference between the two groups, time and interaction (P < 0.05). Among the two groups, the distance of talus advancement difference at 12 and 18 months after operation were lower than that before operation, while the distance of talus advancement difference at 18 months after operation was higher than that at 12 months after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); at 12 and 18 months after operation, the distance of talus advancement difference in group A were higher than that in group B, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Anatomical repair of the anterior talofibular ligament in the treatment of avulsion fractures of the lateral malleolus with lateral collateral ligament injury is more effective than conservative plaster immobilization, with faster recovery and better joint stability.
