Is Deltoid Ligament Repair in Supination-external Rotation Ankle Fractures Necessary? A Prospective Cohort Study.
The investigator hypothesizes that primary acute ankle deltoid ligament repair can help
restore ankle radiographic congruity and functional outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether stabilization with anatomic ankle deltoid
ligament repair can help restore ankle congruity and improve functional outcome in patients
with unstable supination-external rotation ankle fractures.
