Isolated posterior malleolar fractures. 1986

L R Boggs

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.
