Fractures involving the posterior malleolus of the tibia can be difficult to manage. Failure to address these fractures can lead to posterior ankle instability and altered ankle reaction forces. ⋯ We have had excellent results using this technique for management of displaced posterior malleolar fractures with few complications. Surgeons should be aware of the effectiveness of this technique for managing displaced fractures of the posterior malleolus.
