Supination Adduction Ankle Fracture Treated With Fibular Intramedullary Screw Fixation.

Abstract

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.
