In order to understand the trauma mechanism and the expected pattern of injury, malleolar fractures can be classified according to Lauge-Hansen [1]. For isolated lateral malleolar fractures, the Weber classification is also frequently used [2]. For most Weber A fractures and 80% of Weber B fractures conservative treatment is indicated. In all isolated Weber B fractures a supination-external rotation (SER) injury has to be distinguished from a pronation-abduction (PA) injury according to the Lauge-Hansen classification. In SER fractures, stability should be assessed by a gravity stress and a weightbearing radiograph. If the fracture is stable, it can be treated nonoperatively. We recommend surgical treatment for unstable Weber B SER injuries, Weber B PA injuries, and Weber C fractures.
