Summary:
This abstract describes an open reduction and internal fixation technique used for a supination adduction ankle injury. This technique demonstrates medial plafond articular disimpaction with backfilling of the bony void with cancellous allograft. The medial malleolus was then fixed with a mini fragment plate in antiglide fashion with subchondral rafting screws. The lateral malleolus fracture was addressed with use of a retrograde screw rather than a fibular plate. This technique emphasizes the importance of both recognizing and addressing the anteromedial plafond impaction of supination adduction ankle fractures.

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...
