Plain Radiographic Interpretation in Trimalleolar Ankle Fractures Poorly Assesses Posterior Fragment Size

Twenty-five patients with trimalleolar ankle fractures were evaluated using both conventional radiography and computed tomography (CT) to determine the size of the posterior fragment along with other fracture characteristics. Plain radiograph measurements indicated very poor inter- and intraexaminer...
