Implication

Systematic review compares outcomes of arthroscopically assisted versus traditional open reduction for ankle fractures, suggesting improved patient-reported results.

Key Points

  • AORIF treatment leads to improved patient-reported outcome measures after ankle fractures, particularly in unimalleolar cases.
  • Twelve studies met inclusion criteria, revealing a better PROMs score in most AORIF patients compared to ORIF.
  • Analysis followed PICOS and PRISMA guidelines while examining 7089 studies within ankle fracture outcomes.
  • Heterogeneity among included studies signals the need for more research to pinpoint which patient groups benefit most from AORIF.
