Abstract
Ankle fractures, occurring at a rate of approximately 100 per 100,000 people annually, often involve the posterior malleolus in 7‐44% of cases, which can negatively impact prognosis. These fractures typically result from rotational injuries to the ankle, affecting one or both malleoli. After obtaining approval and clearance from the institutional ethics committee of Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, the patients fulfilling the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled for the study after obtaining written informed consent. Demographic data, History, Clinical examination and details of investigations was recorded in study pro‐forma after admission. Out of 28 patients after getting CT scan patients were grouped based on the Fracture pattern of the posterior malleolus. In our study, type 2 of Haraguchi had more incidence of 67.86% (19) and type 3 of 25% (7) and type 1 of 7.14% (2) were found. Out of 28 patients, after getting CT scan patients were grouped based on the Fracture pattern of the posterior malleolus using bartonicek classification. In our study, type 3 pattern of injury was more common 67.86% (19) and type 2 pattern had incidence of 17.86% (5) and type 2 and type 4 had incidence of 10.71% and 3.57% respectively.
