Abstract
A supination mechanism of the fracture can be predicted by observing pure ligamentous or chip-avulsion deltoid injury. The presence of an anterior colliculus fracture of the medial malleolus is correlated with a pronation mechanism. A fracture of the posterior malleolus correlates with pronation while an intact posterior malleolus correlateds with supination as a fracture mechanism. Absolute determination of fracture mechanism from the X-ray morphology of the fracture is impossible in the majority of cases.
