Category:TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiological results of internal fixation with headless cannulated screw and locking compression distal ulna hook plate for the fracture at the base of fifth metatarsal bone, Zone 1.Methods:From April 2012 to April 2015, thirty cases (29 patients) were evaluated retrospectively. The mean follow up periods was 13 months. There were divided two groups based on use of the screw (group A, n=15) or the plate (group B, n=15).We measured the displacement to diastasis of the fracture on the foot oblique radiographs taken pre- and post-operatively in each group, checked the time to bone union and the difference of the reduction distance in each group. Clinical results were evaluated using American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score at 12 months postoperative.Results:In group A, the mean time to union was 54.2±9.3 days, the mean displacement to diastasis improved to 0.3±0.4 mm postoperatively ...
