Observational retrospective study from 01/01/2018 to 04/12/2021.<br><br>Data are collected on the fracture, the course of the fracture, accompanying injuries, imaging, follow-up treatment, complications and the violation of posterior malleolus.<br>A purely retrospective evaluation of already collected treatment data is carried out.<br>The aim of the study is to identify factors (fracture course, fracture localization, etc.) in conventional imaging that are pedictive for an accompanying injury to the posterior malleolus.
