Abstract

To investigate the surgical techniques and the clinical outcomes in the treating of the avulsion fracture of the fibula head by using suture anchors. From November 2008 to April 2013, 27 patients with the avulsion fracture of the fibular head were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with ligament repair by using suture anchors. There were 17males and 10 females with average age of 37.3years (range 33-56years). Mean course was 10.2 months (range 8-15months). The avulsion fractures of fibular head have been proved by X-ray and 3-D CT before operation. The Lysholm’s scoring system has been used for evaluation the clinical effects.The mean operation time was 78.5 minutes (range 40-105minutes). Intraoperative blood loss was 30-200ml (mean 100.0ml). Two patients were lost in follow-up after operation and the others had been followed up for 13 to 36 months (mean 14 months). X-ray films showed that all the fractures were fused in the last follow-up. According to the Lysholm’s scoring system, the results were excellent in 17 cases, good in 6 cases, fair in 2 cases. The excellent and good rate was 92%. It is emphasized that full attention should be given to reconstruction of lateral ligament structures as well as open reduction and international fixation in the treating of the avulsion fracture of the fibular head. The suture anchor is more easily, less injury than traditional internal fixation and needn’t to remove.
