ABSTRACT
Posterior malleolus fractures (PMFs) (OTA 43B1.1) are frequently seen in combination with fractures of the fibula, medial malleolus, and distal tibia; they can rarely be seen in isolation. PMFs affect the alignment of the ankle mortise and the stability of syndesmosis. Techniques described for fixation of PMFs include open reduction internal fixation through a posterolateral or posteromedial approach or anterior-to-posterior screw fixation. For selected minimally displaced or nondisplaced fractures of the posterior malleolus, we developed a percutaneous technique through the Achilles tendon for the insertion of a posterior-to-anterior cannulated screw. The technique is described, and a clinical series is reviewed.
