Operative Treatment of Posterior Malleolar Fractures.
Fractures of the posterior malleolus can occur in conjunction with fibular and medial malleolar fractures or in isolation. The indications for fixation of the posterior malleolus remain controversial except for the fragment sizes.

These attributes help to minimize the occurrence of postoperative complications.
