Ortho Ankle

Lateral malleolar

  • Weber A – distal to mortis joint – non-operative
  • Weber B – starts at mortis and usually spirals proximally – may be operative
  • Weber C – proximal to mortis – almost always operative

Medial malleolar

  • If the ankle mortis is displaced likely needs ORIF
  • High risk for proximal fibular fracture (Maisonneuve)
