Regarding “Arthroscopic Reduction and Minimally Invasive Surgery in Supination-External Rotation Ankle Fractures: A Comparative Study With Open Reduction”

We read with great interest the article entitled “Arthroscopic Reduction and Minimally Invasive Surgery in Supination-External Rotation Ankle Fractures: A Comparative Study With Open Reduction” by Chiang et al.1 in a recent issue of the journal. We agree that arthroscopic reduction and minimally invasive surgery (ARMIS) could achieve superior surgical outcomes with a shorter postoperative stay and lower incidence of complications compared with open reduction–internal fixation (ORIF). In addition, regarding early postoperative pain, we wish to share our point of view with regard to the statistical analysis.
