A special type of trimalleolar fracture with the involvement of the entire posterior tibial plafond has been reported recently. Because of the low incidence, the characteristics of the fracture in different studies have not been consistent. We describe our clinical experience with this fracture type. ⋯ This fracture pattern may be classified into two types with different injury mechanisms, which has not been described previously. After anatomic reduction and stable fixation through a combined operative approach, the short-term outcome was good.
