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 …

Despite an increasing awareness of injuries to PM in ankle fracture-dislocations, there are
still many open questions. The mere presence of a posterior fragment leads to significantly …

Background: The functional outcome following ankle fractures that involve a posterior
malleolar fragment is often not satisfactory, and treatment of this type of fracture remains …

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 …

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 …

Background Direct fixation of the posterior malleolus through a posterolateral approach is
increasing in popularity. However, data is limited, and no studies have stratified results by …

The aim of this study was to evaluate 1) long-term results of ankle fractures with a posterior
malleolar fragment, and 2) the need for fixation of fragments smaller than 25%. Forty-five …

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 …
