Primary deltoid ligament repair versus trans-syndesmotic fixation for acute bimalleolar equivalent ankle fractures: A meta-analysis of comparative studies

Primary deltoid ligament repair versus trans-syndesmotic fixation for acute bimalleolar equivalent ankle fractures: A meta-analysis of comparative studies

Background: The indication for deltoid ligament repair in lateral malleolus fractures with associated deltoid ligament injury is controversial.
