A Novel Algorithm for Isolated Weber B Ankle Fractures: A Retrospective Review of 51 Nonsurgically Treated Patients

Introduction: Stability of isolated Weber B ankle fractures can be difficult to determine. Using weight-bearing radiographs, a reliable method to determine the stability of isolated Weber B ankle fractures is described. Methods: A retrospective review of prospectively gathered data was performed. We...

Zusammenfassung:	Introduction: Stability of isolated Weber B ankle fractures can be difficult to determine. Using weight-bearing radiographs, a reliable method to determine the stability of isolated Weber B ankle fractures is described. Methods: A retrospective review of prospectively gathered data was performed. Weber B ankle fractures were defined as stable when having a medial clear space (MCS) of
