title: [Fractures of the lateral malleolus with interposition of the medial collateral ligaments].
abstract: The authors have observed 10 cases of isolated fracture of the lateral malleolus associated with rupture and interposition of the medial collateral ligament. It was concluded that this type of lesion should not be treated conservatively. The ligament should be surgically repaired and the malleolus fixed. The results were excellent in 9 cases out of 10.
