Abstract:
Closure of the deep fracture after open reduction and internal fixation of the ankle is often difficult due to the damage from the injury or from the intraoperative exposure. The technique described herein provides a consistent method for coverage of the hardware. The specific maneuver capitalizes on the unique arrangement of the fascial overlying the anterior compartment of the leg.
