The treatment options for posterior malleolar fractures in tibial spiral fractures

ConclusionsMany patients with smaller PMFs were fixated, but functional outcomes of SF were not better than those of SN. There is no need to emphasize other factors guiding the treatment of PMF involving one-fourth to one-third of the fibular notch in spiral fractures. The traditional size of PMF may be only enough to guide the treatment of spiral fracture with PMF. But other types of PMF should still be treated considering morphology and fragment simultaneously.
