ORIF of a Bimalleolar Ankle Fracture

A bimalleolar fracture is a fracture of the ankle that involves the lateral malleolus and the medial malleolus.

If the fracture is severe enough and the doctor believes that it will not heal correctly by external fixation, such as casting, the doctor will perform an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery.

Causes of Bimalleolar Ankle Fracture

A bimalleolar ankle fracture is caused by some form of trauma. Such a fracture can be sustained in car crashes, trip and fall accidents, slip and falls, or a motorcycle accident.

You may be entitled to monetary damages.
