Abstract

To explore clinical effect of Kirschner wire combined with PEEK anchor with thread to fix fibula bone block in WagstaffeⅡfracture.From January 2018 to December 2020, 29 patients with WagstaffeⅡfracture of ankle joint were treated with Kirschner wire fixation of avulsed fibular bone block, PEEK with thread anchor repair and reinforcement, and plaster external fixation, including 18 males and 11 females, aged from 27 to 69 years old with an average of (46.3±10.2) years old.
