DOI: 10.1016/j.fcl.2020.08.002
Abstract: Anatomic reduction of the posterior malleolus is mandatory for a good functional outcome. Preoperative planning with a computed tomography scan's axial view helps to decide which approach and surgical position we should choose. Based on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fcl.2021.03.009
Abstract: The most common injury mechanism for ankle fractures with concomitant deltoid ligament injury is a supination external rotation type 4 trauma. In the acute setting, malalignment, ecchymosis, and profound edema of the affected ankle can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2019.03.010
Abstract: BACKGROUND Whilst the lateral malleolus appears to be crucial in controlling anatomical reduction of the talus, the role of the medial malleolus is less clear. Medial sided complications including infection, damage to local structures and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2019.06.003
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Rotational type ankle fractures with a concomitant fracture of the posterior malleolus are associated with a poorer clinical outcome as compared to ankle fractures without. However, clinical implications of posterior malleolar (PM) fracture morphology… read more here.
