title: [Surgical stabilization of injuries of the malleolar fork].
abstract: The author describes the technique of tibiofibular hemicerclage by a double loop of the binding wire which is a modification of Mlcoch's method. It achieves complete stability of the damaged malleolar fork in dislocating injuries of the upper talus without the necessity of additional fixation. It makes early rehabilitation of the complete extent of associated movements of the talus possible; contrary to clamps the dynamics of the lower tibiofibular joint are accepted. On actual examples the author demonstrates the firmness of the bond. He gives also an outline of the somewhat non-standard method of comprehensive therapeutic care. The method was tested in 61 patients in the course of 11 years.
