Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Radiographic union [Through study completion, an average of 0.5 year.]
The time of radiographic union
Secondary Outcome Measures
- American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle score system. [Through study completion, an average of 0.5 year.]
The AOFAS evaluation criteria were used to evaluate ankle function and healing: 90-100 points = an excellent outcome; 75-89 points = a good outcome; 50-74 points = a fair outcome; and < 50 points = a poor outcome. The scoring criteria include pain, functional and autonomic activity, support, maximum walking distance, ground walking, abnormal gait, forefoot activity, hindfoot activity, ankle-hindfoot stability, and foot alignment.
Other Outcome Measures
- Measurement methods of the mechanical axis of lower limbs . [Through study completion, an average of 0.5 year.]
Quantitative indicators included the full length of the tibia, the angle formed by the mechanical axis of the lower limbs in standing position and the horizontal line, and the angle of ankle mortise in coronal and sagittal positions.

Exclusion Criteria:
-
Bilateral fracture.
-
In association with epiphyseal dysplasia and neuromuscular disease.
