THE IMPORTANCE OF PREOPERATIVE CT IMAGING IN POSTERIOR MALLEOLUS FIXATION AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES

Orthopaedic Proceedings | 2026 | C. De Wet, R. Hackney, S. Middleton, R. Clayton

The treatment of ankle fractures with associated posterior malleolar fractures remains controversial. The aim of this retrospective study was to establish the importance of pre-operative CT imaging to identify fracture morphology and characterise die-punch fragment size and position. We aim to present clinical outcomes including infection, rates of revision and incidence of rad...
