Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Observational retrospective study from 01/01/2018 to 04/12/2021. Data are collected on the fracture, the course of the fracture, accompanying injuries, imaging, follow-up treatment, complications and the violation of posterior malleolus. A purely retrospective evaluation of already collected treatment data is carried out. The aim of the study is to identify factors (fracture course, fracture localization, etc.) in conventional imaging that are pedictive for an accompanying injury to the posterior malleolus.	—
