Abstract

Medial malleolar fractures are common injuries involving the distal aspect of the tibia, often resulting from trauma such as twisting injuries, falls, or direct blows to the ankle. Epidemiological data reveal the prevalence of medial malleolar fractures across different age groups and genders, highlighting their significance in orthopedic trauma. The anatomy of the medial malleolus, including its relationship to adjacent structures and ligamentous attachments, is elucidated to facilitate understanding of fracture patterns and associated injuries. This abstract provides a comprehensive overview of medial malleolar fractures, including their anatomy, mechanism of injury, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment modalities.
