Popis: Abstract Background Surgical approach and fixation material are crucial in the treatment of comminuted distal fibular fractures accompanied by tibial Pilon fractures. This study compared the efficacy of double-hooked locking plates and anatomic plates in minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) for the treatment of comminuted distal fibular fractures accompanied by tibial Pilon fractures. Methods Clinical data were collected from 96 patients diagnosed with comminuted distal fibular fractures accompanied by tibial Pilon fractures who had undergone MIPPO. Patients in the study group (n = 48) received double-hooked locking plate fixations and the control group (n = 48) received anatomical plate fixations. The operating time, intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stays, full weight-bearing time, fracture healing time and complication rates in the two groups were compared. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated using the Burwell–Chamley imaging scoring system; the ankle function was assessed based on the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Score. Results Patients in the study group had shorter operating time, less bleeding, significantly shorter hospital stays, and shorter time to full weight-bearing as well as fracture healing compared to the control group (P 0.05). Patients in the study group experienced better ankle recovery than those in the control group (93.75% vs. 75.00%) (P
