Comparative Study
Anatomic Fixation of Supination External Rotation Type IV Equivalent Ankle Fractures.
To compare radiographic and clinical outcomes of supination external rotation type IV equivalent (SER IV E) ankle fractures (AO/OTA classification 44-B2.1) treated with transsyndesmotic screw fixation with those treated with deltoid and posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) repair. ⋯ Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Comparative Study
Deltoid ligament repair versus syndesmotic fixation in bimalleolar equivalent ankle fractures.
To compare the outcomes of bimalleolar equivalent ankle fractures treated with lateral malleolus open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with transsyndesmotic fixation versus lateral malleolus ORIF with deltoid ligament repair. ⋯ Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Comparative Study Controlled Clinical Trial
"A to p" screw versus posterolateral plate for posterior malleolus fixation in trimalleolar ankle fractures.
-
Randomized Controlled Trial
A prospective randomized study of operative treatment for noncomminuted humeral shaft fractures: conventional open plating versus minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis.
To compare the clinical and radiologic results of conventional open plating (COP) and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) in the treatment of noncomminuted humeral shaft fractures. ⋯ Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
