Abstract

Determination of malreduction of the distal fibula in AO/Weber C fractures’ can be difficult. Plain X-rays may only give limited information regarding rotational deformities or persistent diastasis of the fibula. Transverse computer tomographic (CT) scans of the ankle at the level of the syndesmosis allow better assessment of any fibular rotational deformity. CT scans may be useful when planning revision fixation of a malreduced AOmeber C type ankle fracture.
