The prefix “bi” means “two,” so a bimalleolar fracture is one that involves both the medial malleolus and the lateral malleolus. How long does it take to recover from a bimalleolar fracture?Ī bimalleolar fracture usually requires someone to keep weight off the affected foot for a few weeks, but in most cases, people return to normal daily activities within 3 to 4 months. When repairing a Maisonneuve ankle fracture, the medial (inner) side is repaired, and the syndesmosis is repaired.

How is a Maisonneuve fracture treated?Ģ However, the typical treatment of a Maisonneuve fracture is to perform surgery to restore stability to the ankle joint. This extreme force places significant strain on the bones and ligaments that make up the ankle joint and often results in instability. 2000 23(7):687–690.Injury: Maisonneuve fractures are a result of external rotation of a planted foot, most often with pronation of the foot.

The authors conclude that although good results were seen postoperatively in this case, the importance of ORIF of both the posteromedial and posterolateral fragments of variant fractures cannot be overstated. To the authors’ knowledge, this unique fracture pattern has not been reported previously in the literature. They also highlight the diagnostic imaging characteristics, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and preoperative radiograph findings, surgical treatment, and postoperative clinical outcome for this patient with a Maisonneuve-hyperplantarflexion variant ankle fracture. In this report, the authors present the unique case of an isolated ankle fracture demonstrating characteristics of both a Maisonneuve fracture and a hyperplantarflexion variant ankle fracture. Good functional results have been reported in the literature after ORIF of both the posterolateral and posteromedial fragments of this variant fracture that is not described by the Lauge-Hansen classification. The hyperplantarflexion variant ankle fracture comprises approximately 7% of all ankle fractures and features dual posterior tibial lip fractures featuring a posterolateral fragment and a posteromedial fragment.

They consist of a proximal third fibula fracture, syndesmotic disruption, and medial ankle injury (either a deltoid ligament disruption or a medial malleolus fracture), and are often successfully managed with nonoperative treatment of the proximal fibula fracture and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the medial ankle injury and syndesmotic disruption. Maisonneuve fractures are rare ankle injuries, accounting for up to 7% of all ankle fractures.
