Abstract
One hundred and fifty-five patients who had a closed, displaced medial malleolar, bimalleolar, or trimalleolar fracture of the ankle were managed with medial malleolar fixation with use of either 4.0-millimeter orientruded polylactide screws (eighty-three patients, study group) or 4.0-millimKeywords
