• Type A fractures involve the lateral malleolus distal to the tibiofibular syndesmosis. They are usually stable and are managed conservatively.
• Type B fractures occur at the level of the syndesmosis and have variable stability. They can be treated both conservatively and surgically.
• Patients with stable fractures or co-morbidities rendering them unfit for surgery are treated conservatively with analgesia and immobilisation using a splint, short-leg cast or walker boot for a minimum of six weeks.
• NICE also advises immediate, unrestricted weight-bearing as tolerated for patients with stable fractures.
