Medial Malleolar Osteotomy: The Influence of 2 Types of Osteotomies and 2 Fixation Methods on Articular Displacement in Fresh-Frozen Cadaveric Specimens
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to determine the effects of two types of medial malleolar osteotomies (oblique and chevron) and two fixation methods (2 screws vs. 3 screws) on articular displacement in fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens. The findings revealed that the chevron osteotomy fixed with 3 screws resulted in no measurable articular displacement, significantly outperforming the oblique osteotomy and the 2-screw fixation in terms of stability. Overall, the research suggests that the chevron technique with 3 screws is the superior option for minimizing articular step-off.
