The Danis–Weber classification (often known just as the Weber classification) is a method of describing ankle fractures.It has three categories: Type A. Fracture of the lateral malleolus distal to the syndesmosis (the connection between the distal ends of the tibia and fibula).Typical features: below level of the ankle joint; tibiofibular syndesmosis intact Nonoperative Treatment Nonoperative treatment of distal tibial fractures is recommended only for truly nondisplaced fractures or fractures in patients that have an absolute contraindication for surgical management. Fracture with a dorsal tilt. )** The standard radiographic assessment of the ankle includes three views: anteroposterior (AP), mortise (15- to 20-degree internal rotation), and lateral ().With significant injury to the ankle, a consistent pattern of in stability occurs, specifically lateral translation and external rotation of the talus relative to the tibial plafond. It is the most common physis to be injured in the lower limb accounting to approximately 15–20% of all physeal injuries. 3, © 2020 Radiological Society of North America, https://doi.org/10.1148/radiology.164.2.3602382, Surgically Relevant Patterns in Triplane Fractures, Evaluation of Intra-articular Fracture Extension After Gunshot Wounds to the Lower Extremity, Vergleich von MRT und CT bei Frakturen im Kindesalter.

A classification of the various types of triplane fractures, based on a survey of the literature and the material in this study, is presented. 4. In the Denis classification a burst fracture is classified as a two-column injury, calling it unstable and requiring surgical stabilization.
