CME OnDemand: 2022 AOFAS Annual Meeting-Reduction Quality in Posterior Malleolar Fractures using the Modified Posteromedial Ankle Approach

Reduction Quality in Posterior Malleolar Fractures using the Modified Posteromedial Ankle Approach

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Felipe Pino presents a study on the reduction quality in posterior malleolar fractures using the modified posterior medial ankle approach. The study aims to assess the correlation between the reduction quality of posterior malleolus fractures and the approach used. A retrospective search was conducted for ankle fracture dislocations associated with posterior malleolar fractures. 48 patients met the inclusion criteria, and 94% of them achieved an anatomical posterior malleolus fracture reduction. The study concludes that the modified posterior medial approach is a good option for managing these fractures. No credits were mentioned in the video transcript.
