Ankle Fracture - Requiring Posterior Malleolus Fixation

https://www.chicagoanklesurgery.com/ Dr. Milap Patel Dr. Anish Kadakia (IG - @ankl_man) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An ankle fracture is a break in one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint. There are many different types of ankle fractures, including stable fractures, displaced fractures, and comminuted fractures. The severity of the fracture and the treatment required will depend on the type and location of the fracture. Trimalleolar ankle fracture is a severe type of ankle fracture that involves a break in three places: the medial malleolus, the lateral malleolus, and the posterior malleolus. This type of fracture typically requires surgical fixation to ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of long-term complications. Surgical fixation for trimalleolar ankle fractures typically involves anatomic fixation of the posterior malleolus with plate and screw constructs. This involves placing a metal plate and screws on the back of the ankle to hold the broken bones in place while they heal. If the fixation is performed properly, patients generally have good outcomes with reduced pain, improved function, and reduced risk of arthritis and other long-term complications.
