Predictors of Functional Outcome Following Transsyndesmotic Screw Fixation of Ankle Fractures
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Given the continued debate regarding syndesmotic screw fixation, we reviewed our institution's series of ankle syndesmotic screw insertions: 1) to examine technical aspects of syndesmotic screw fixation; and 2) to identify predictors of function and quality of life utilizing validated instruments.
DESIGN: Retrospective observational study (level IV).
