Ankle Fractures Several papers presented new information on the treatment of common ankle fractures. "Syndesmotic Instability in Weber B Ankle Fracture: A Clinical Evaluation" was presented by ...

Type A Weber fractures occur below the level of the syndesmosis of the ankle. The syndesmosis remains intact, which permits patient to bear weight as tolerated in a walking boot or cast.

In between is a clinical "gray area": Weber B fractures at the level of the syndesmosis. Management of these injuries remains a lot less clear-cut, which is why Aiyer and colleagues decided to ...

Again, stability is central to assessment. "Unfortunately, determining ankle stability after an isolated lateral malleolus fracture remains a diagnostic dilemma," the researchers wrote.
