What is Buttress Plate Stabilisation of Posterior Malleolar Ankle Fractures: a Familiar Technique Through an Unfamiliar Approach about?
## Introduction: The approach to the distal radius to apply a volar buttress plate for a volarly displaced distal radius fracture is a familiar procedure for orthopaedic surgeons. The stabilisation of distal tibia posterior malleolar fractures is commonly performed by inserting lag or cannulated screws into the posterior fragment from anteriorly. Method: We discuss the similarity of the application of a posterior buttress plate to the distal tibia via a posterolateral approach compared with a distal radial approach. Conclusions: The posterolateral approach is easy, safe and allows good access and accurate direct fracture reduction. We recommend this method be considered for the stabilisation of a posterior malleolar fracture.
