Key Points

Functional outcomes measured by AOFAS scores showed no significant differences between plate and screw fixation methods.
Patients with ankle dislocation had significantly lower AOFAS scores at all follow-ups compared to those without dislocation.
This retrospective analysis involved 44 patients treated for trimalleolar ankle fractures between 2019 and 2023.
Follow-ups at 6, 12, and 24 months indicated that delay in surgery did not impact functional outcomes significantly.
