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 …

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 …

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 …

Background: There is increasing acceptance that the clinical outcomes following posterior
malleolar fractures are less than satisfactory. We report our results of posterior malleolar …

The diagnosis and treatment of ankle fractures has evolved considerably over the past two
decades. Recent topics of interest have included indications for operative treatment of …

We present a technique of fixation of trimalleolar fractures with additional fracture of the
anterior tibial tubercle (“quadrimalleolar”) or anterior fibular rim (“quadrimalleolar …

Background: In the past, posterior malleolus fragments (PMFs) commonly have been
indirectly reduced and fixed when fragments involve 25% or more of the tibial articular …

Background Direct fixation of posterior malleolar fractures has been shown to lead to higher
accuracy of fracture reduction compared to an indirect anterior to posterior fixation but lacks …
