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 posterior malleolus fracture anatomy, a guideline is suggested to facilitate decision making on which approach seems to give the best exposure with minimum complications.

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...
