title: [The "ligamental equivalents" of malleolar fractures caused by trauma from tibio-tarsal pronation].
abstract: The author, after analyzing a series of 7 cases of so-called "equivalents" of malleolar fractures, underlines the opportunity for correct evaluation of articular stability when observing an X-ray of a fracture due to rotation towards the exterior of the fibula. The test, under anesthesia, enables us to confirm the clinical suspicion of injury to the deltoid ligament and suggests surgical treatment for young patients and/or sportsmen.
