A member asked:
Can a weber b fracture be described as extra articular?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A weber b fracture is at to slightly above the level of the distal tibia and fibula joint, and should be considered extra articular. Depending on the fracture pattern there may be a small propagation of the fragment below the level of the distal tibia.
