Summary

This study compared two common surgeries for a type of ankle fracture involving both the inner and outer ankle bones. 200 adults aged 18-60 were randomly assigned to receive either a metal plate and screws or a less invasive wire and screw technique. The goal was to see which method led to better ankle function three months after surgery, based on pain, stiffness, and daily activities.
