Isolated posterior malleolar fractures

L R Boggs. Am J Emerg Med. 1986 Jul.

Abstract

Three cases are presented of isolated fractures of the posterior malleolus as seen in an emergency department. Isolated posterior malleolar fractures are associated with compression and/or plantar flexion injuries of the foot. The Lauge-Hansen classification of ankle fractures, and its derivatives, do not include these injuries because of their rarity. They should be considered in all cases of ankle injury.
