Abstract
The ankle fracture - the most common fracture of the lower extremities - is usually due to pro- and supination trauma and is commonly challenging for junior doctors of orthopaedics and traumatology. To accomplish sufficient surgical results, it is necessary to have surgical experience, not only because of the surrounding fragile soft tissue, but also due to the specific anatomical structures surrounding the ankle joint and the postsurgical biomechanical stress to osteosynthesis. In the following video, the most relevant steps of surgery as well as some useful tips and tricks are mentioned. The intention of the video is to convey to junior orthopaedic surgeons the most important surgical steps for their clinical daily routine.
