Abstract

Several surgical approaches to the posterior malleolus have been described. However, these approaches may make it difficult for fixation of associated lateral malleolar and anterior syndesmotic fractures. A single incision approach is described that allows safe access to the posterior malleolus while also facilitating access to the lateral malleolus and anterior syndesmosis.
