Abstract:
Despite the isolated lateral malleolar ankle fracture being one of the most common injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons it remains an injury that is widely misunderstood. Treatment protocols are compounded by the contemporary literature being divided on its optimal management. This review takes the reader through a process of how the historical literature on this subject has been formed, it critiques the main responsible papers and leads one to question the current dogma attached to both this injury and to current research in general.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
