Ankle fracture is one of the most common fractures presenting in the emergency department.
The fracture varies from unimalleolar, bimalleolar or trimalleolar. Involvement of the posterior …

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 …

Ankle fractures are among the most common orthopaedic injuries. Operative management is
performed in unstable ankle fracture patterns to restore the stability and native kinematics of …

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 …

Introduction Posterolateral approach has been advocated for the treatment of ankle fractures
involving the posterior malleolus and satisfactory results were demonstrated in several …

Background Different fixation methods have been used to treat posterior malleolar fractures
(PMFs), but the clinical efficacy of different fixation methods in the treatment of PMF with …

Purpose The treatment of the posterior fragment in trimalleolar fractures differs from hospital
to hospital in the Netherlands. A nationwide survey was performed to evaluate the fixation …

Background: Currently, the standard of treatment for trimalleolar (TM) fracture is
osteosynthesis through open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). This study assessed …

Purpose Functional outcome in trimalleolar fractures is largely correlated to the reduction of
the posterior fragment. Until recently, fixation was mainly performed for large fragments, by …

Purpose: The ankle joint has a complex anatomy structure with many causative factors and
various injury mechanisms, and the clinical presentation of ankle fractures is diverse. This …
