Common Causes of Bimalleolar/Trimalleolar Fractures

1. Trip and Fall Accidents:

• Occur on sidewalks, stairs, and uneven walking surfaces.
• Can result from poorly maintained premises, inadequate lighting, or obstacles in the walking path.

2. Car Accidents:

• Impact to the lower extremities during a collision can lead to severe fractures.
• Injuries may occur due to the force of impact, especially in side-impact or T-bone collisions.

3. Slip and Fall Accidents:

• Wet surfaces, snow, and ice can create hazardous conditions.
• Inadequate signage or failure to address weather-related risks may contribute to slip and fall incidents.

Understanding Bimalleolar/Trimalleolar Fractures

Definition:

• Malleolar fractures involve the lower leg and ankle joint.
• Bimalleolar: Fracture of two malleoli (medial and lateral).
• Trimalleolar: Fracture of all three malleoli (medial, lateral, and posterior).

Medical Implications:

• Often requires surgical intervention with the use of plates and screws.
• Potential scarring and the presence of hardware, which may be permanent or removed based on the case.
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy may be necessary, leading to limitations on activities and a potential limp.
