Open reduction and fixation does not improve short-term outcome of medium-sized posterior fragments in AO type B ankle fractures: one-year results of the POSTFIX randomized controlled trial
ORIF of medium-sized posterior fragments in AO type B trimalleolar fractures does not prompt superior functional or radiological results after one-year follow-up. Longer follow-up is needed to evaluate intermediate or long-term effects.
