- Discussion:
- ORIF is recomened when:
- > 25% of posterior articular surface is involved;
- fragment must have a tibial articular surface that is large enough to provide a stable wt bearing surface;
- fracture is displaced more than 2 mm;
- there is posterior subluxation of talus;
- even slightlest posterior subluxation of talus on articular surface of tibia is not acceptable;
- if frx prevents reduction of fibula;
- valgus tilt of talus in postreduction film may be a relative indication
