Lateral Malleolus Fracture with Wagstaffe Fragment

Study Lateral Malleolus Fracture with Wagstaffe Fragment through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on identification and management of the Wagstaffe fragment in lateral malleolus fractures, Wagstaffe fragment fixation technique with double compression screws, and lateral malleolus fracture stabilization with a locked plate.

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.
