In German literature, @entity1171 are mostly classified in three groups according to Weber. In cases of the type A, the @entity174 line runs below, in cases of type B at height of the syndesmotic ligaments. C-type @entity174 are typically seen above this region. However, this practical and simple classification allows no inferences at accompanying @entity130 which in turn influence the functional outcome. We observed isolated @entity174 of the lateral malleolus in more than 60 % of all type B- @entity174 , as soon as in the majority the type @entity174 . Since isolated medial ankle @entity174 occur very rarely, careful exclusion of further @entity130 is advisable here. In order to differentiate stable ones from unstable type B @entity3681 , we carry out a manual stress test, if there is less than 2 mm @entity174 and a congruent ankle mortise. In this manner we could find that stable lateral ankle @entity174 are characterized with a combination of an intact dorsal syndesmotic and medial ligament. Stable type B and undisplaced @entity174 were treated conservatively with an ankle brace (Aircast?). Unstable @entity3681 were treated by ORIF. Conservative treatment for undisplaced medial @entity174 is recommended, if x- @entity16039 showed less than 2 mm dislocation which allows a tibio-talare impingement. Biomechanical investigations could prove a significant increase in ankle joint stability, when an axial load of 300 N was applied to various horizontal loads. The talus does not follow automatically a displaced fibular @entity174 . The dorsal syndesmotic and the medial deltoid ligaments control ankle joint stability.

Stable XXXX . Indications for operative or conservative treatment?
