Percutaneous Tibiotalocalcaneal Nailing in Fragility Ankle Fractures of the Elderly: A Single-Center Case Series

This study reports descriptive outcomes of a small retrospective case series and does not allow causal inference or comparison with alternative treatments. Within these limitations, percutaneous TTC nailing provided stable fixation with low observed wound-related complications in this frail, elderly cohort. The findings should be interpreted cautiously, and prospective comparative studies are required.

Abstract

This study reports descriptive outcomes of a small retrospective case series and does not allow causal inference or comparison with alternative treatments. Within these limitations, percutaneous TTC nailing provided stable fixation with low observed wound-related complications in this frail, elderly cohort. The findings should be interpreted cautiously, and prospective comparative studies are required.
