Morphological characteristics of the posterior malleolar fragment according to ankle fracture patterns: a computed tomography-based study
Abstract Background The posterior malleolar fragment (PMF) of an ankle fracture can have various shapes depending on the injury mechanism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphological characteristics of the PMF according to the ankle fracture pattern described in the Lauge-Hansen clas...
