Both groups underwent fibular and medial malleolus fixation according to AO principles, with trans-syndesmotic stabilization screws in case of instability. The primary outcome was syndesmotic alignment assessed on post-operative bilateral CT scans. The main secondary outcome measures were patient-reported functional outcome up to 1 year assessed with AAOS and OMAS questionnaires, and complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      26 patients (17 FIX, 9 NO-FIX) were included, with a median PMF size of 20%.
