  • Title: The dorsal approach for internal fixation of fractures of the lateral malleolus.
    Author: Van der Werken C, Oostvogel HJ.
    Journal: Neth J Surg; 1986 Jun; 38(3):85-6. PubMed ID: 3725110.
    Abstract:
    Anatomic reduction and internal fixation of the lateral malleolus are the key to management of ankle fractures. The usual application of one-third tubular plates to the lateral surface of the distal fibula has certain disadvantages. In selected cases we prefer a dorsal approach to the lateral malleolus. Indications, technique and experience are discussed.
