Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical validity of percutaneous screw fixation in Maisonneuve fracture. Material and Methods: Out of 5 Maisonneuve fracture patients hospitalized in the department of orthopedic surgery of Seigang hospital from February 1995 to May 1998, 4 patients were treated with percutaneous screw fixation and 1 patient was treated with percutaneous screw fixation and repair of deltoid ligament altogether. The results were evaluated on the clinical and radiological finding. Results: In all cases, the range of motion of ankle joint was normal, the complication such as postoperative pain and post-traumatic arthritis were not found.
