Tomography in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Ankle Fractures: A Critical Analysis Review …

Background: We present a classification system that progresses in severity, indicates the
pathomechanics that cause the fracture and therefore guides the surgeon to what fixation …

Background Traditionally, size of the posterior fragment is considered the most important
indicator for fixation in trimalleolar fractures. It remains unclear which factors contribute to …

Introduction The presence of a posterior malleolar (PM) fragment has a negative prognostic
impact in ankle fractures. The best treatment is still subject to debate. The aim of this study …

Aims Involvement of the posterior malleolus in fractures of the ankle probably adversely
affects the functional outcome and may be associated with the development of post …

The posterior malleolus component of a fracture of the ankle is important, yet often
overlooked. Pre-operative CT scans to identify and classify the pattern of the fracture are not …

Aims The primary aim of this study was to address the hypothesis that fracture morphology
might be more important than posterior malleolar fragment size in rotational type posterior …

Aim Comparison of unfixed, CRIF, and ORIF of the posterior malleolus fragment (PMF)
regarding the frequency of trans-syndesmotic fixation and quality of reduction in trimalleolar …

Objectives Whether or not and how to fixate the posterior malleolus fracture seems to
depend on the fracture fragment size and its amount of dislocation, but clear guidelines for …
