Posterior malleolus fractures are frequent injuries, present in 7–44% of all ankle fractures.
The objective of this study is to review the evidence to indicate the fixation of this fracture …

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 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 …

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of ankle fractures with posterior
malleolus fragments (PMFs) involving< 25% of the articular surface treated with or without …

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 …

Introduction An intra-articular impacted fragment (IAIF) could lead to articular incongruity and
malreduction in ankle fractures with posterior malleolar fractures (PMFs). No studies have …

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 …
