Although Cooper had called attention to articular fractures of the posterior tibia in his 1822 treatise by including an illustration of one that had healed with posterior talar subluxation, Earle ...

Posterior Malleolus Fractures Posterior malleolus fractures can be challenging to an orthopedist since the fracture pattern is often irregular. They can shatter into multiple fragments and are often ...

Trimalleolar Ankle Fractures Trimalleolar ankle fractures are another variant of this type of injury. The typical bimalleolar fracture involves bone injury to the inner and outer side of the ankle.

Posterior malleolar fractures are typically associated with fractures of the medial and lateral malleoli, which, after stabilization of the posterior fragment, should be managed by the same ...

Women ages 75 to 84 most commonly get trimalleolar ankle fractures because they fall more. Young and middle-aged men who get hit or land with a lot of force while doing an activity are the second ...
