Comparison of Bicortical versus Unicortical Medial Malleolus Fixation
These results show that medial malleolus fixation has an overall low complication rate of 7% total combined, which is comparable with the current literature. We demonstrated no significant differences in complications, weeks to ambulation, or time to union between bicortical and unicortical fixation.
