Large posterolateral tibial fragments, known as Volkmann fractures, are common in ankle fracture-dislocations and typically require open reduction and fixation with interfragmentary screws and often buttress plates using a prone posterolateral approach. In this setting, fibula plating often necessitates dissection of the lateral window between the peroneal tendons and the skin, increasing wound-related complications. ⋯ Our objective is to describe a technique for fixing ankle fracture-dislocations with large posterolateral fragments using tibial buttress plates and fibula nails through a prone posterolateral approach without dissecting the lateral window. Additionally, we will present a case series with preliminary results.

Is it true that most intra-articular glenoid fractures should have surgery?
