Ankle Fracture Surgery
Ligamentotaxis is the principle that facilitates fracture reduction by way of tension. This principle utilizing intact ligaments(bone to bone connections) to aid in fracture reduction. In the ankle, restoring the fibula length pulls the talus laterally and allows the medial malleolar fracture to reduce.
This is all due to the ligaments connection between the fibula to talus, and talus to medial malleolus.
