✦ Synopsis
Shortening of the distal fibula after malleolar fracture is accompanied with important alterations of the biomechanics and the compressive forces of the ankle joint. The relationship between the extent of shortening, the degree of valgus position of the talus and the reduction of the joint surfaces is described on the basis of experimental investigations. The importance of these circumstances for treatment of malleolar fractures is discussed.
