Complex fractures of the ankle and tibial plafond remain challenging to treat. The goal of this breakout session is to provide operative management strategies to avoid complications and achieve desired outcomes. Presentations will be case-based and include everything from the simple to complex fractures. Strategies will focus on the latest decision-making and fixation options to maximize outcomes supported by the latest evidence in the orthopaedic literature.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Describe higher level injury, not every ankle fracture is a bi- or trimalleolar ankle fracture.
  • Identify how and when, to use approaches (anterior/posterior) and current update on the latest fixation strategies (i.e. mini-fragment, intramedullary nails for fibula/tibia).
  • Apply salvage techniques (fusions, frames, amputations, total ankle replacement) --- when and how to give up on the fracture.
