| Popis: | Category: Ankle, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate impact of removing symptomatic syndesmotic screws on PROMIS outcomes and ankle range of motion (ROM) in patients who had previously undergone ankle fracture open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and syndesmotic fixation and later experienced symptomatic syndesmotic screws and functional limitation. Methods: A total of 346 ankle fractures were treated from February 2015 to May of 2018. 58 patients with ankle fractures with syndesmotic instability and fixation who underwent syndesmotic screw removal (SSR) were included in the analysis. Cohort data was collected for 71 patients who underwent ORIF with syndesmotic fixation, but without screw removal during the same study period. Results: Patients who underwent SSR had a statistically significant improvement in the physical function (PF) T-score to 44.5 (p |
