Screw Fixation of the Posterior Malleolus Fragment in Ankle Fracture: Cadaveric and Clinical Studies

Category: Ankle, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Previously, a posterior malleolus fragment (PMF) covering 25–30% of the articular surface was a known indication for surgical fixation for ankle fractures. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of screw fixation for PMF comprising <25% of the artic...
