[Should Volkmann's great triangle be screwed?].
The accurate reposition of the posterior tibia ridge is a technically exacting undertaking. On the basis of 22 screwed--all done ventrally--and 11 non-screwed Volkmann's triangles which are more than a third of the lateral extension of the distal tibia joint surface can be shown that a screwing in faulty position is worse than non-screwing. Consequently it is better to omit screwing or to do the reposition visually with the corresponding access.
