Established classification systems of posterior malleolar fractures : A systematic literature review

CONCLUSION: None of the three classifications examined has become established in the literature. Most of the classifications are weak or should not be used with respect to a derivable treatment algorithm or a prognosis with respect to the outcome. Only the classification according to Bartonicek/Rammelt is suitable to become established in the literature and in clinical practice due to its derivable treatment algorithm.PMID:35394158 | DOI:10.1007/s00113-022-01162-3
