Establishment of a finite element model and stress analysis of intra-articular impacted fragments in posterior malleolar fractures

Abstract Background Intra-articular impacted fragments (IAIFs) are considered articular surface fragments resulting from impact and compressive forces. The malreduction of IAIFs in posterior malleolar fractures has been associated with talar subluxation and long-term post-traumatic arthritis. In thi...
