Abstract

Twenty-four patients with a Lauge-Hansen Stage II supination-eversion fracture of the lateral malleolus were treated with a stabilizing shoe, which prevents supination and eversion of the foot, but allows a tibiotalar motion. In 23 patients the result was excellent, without secondary dislocation during healing. We therefore conclude that this fracture type can be treated functionally.
