Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Management

Background:

  • Ankle fractures are common, particularly in the elderly population.
  • Minimally invasive stabilization techniques are sought to reduce recovery time and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, minimally invasive method for ankle stabilization.
  • To evaluate the suitability of this technique for elderly patients requiring early weight bearing.

Main Methods:

  • A long trifin nail is inserted from below for ankle stabilization.
  • The procedure focuses on stabilizing the ankle joint.

Main Results:

  • The described method provides effective ankle stabilization.
  • It facilitates a short period of bed rest and allows for early weight bearing.

Conclusions:

  • This technique is a viable option for ankle stabilization, especially in the elderly.
  • Contraindicated in cases with subtalar joint motion; preservation of this motion is essential.
