Posterior and Lateral Malleolus Fractures: Posterolateral Approach

Study Posterior and Lateral Malleolus Fractures: Posterolateral Approach through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on operative management of posterior malleolus fracture and high lateral malleolus of the fibula fracture, use of a single curved posterolateral approach, and indirect reduction technique for the posterior malleolus.

Procedure Overview

The case is organized for structured review of surgical anatomy, procedural sequencing, instrument handling, reduction or reconstruction strategy, implant positioning, and intraoperative verification. Expert narration connects the visual field with the decisions documented during the procedure.
