A member asked:
Out of 100 people with a non displaced weber b fracture how many would have problems with delayed or non union and roughly how many would need surgery
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weber B fracture: Many factors are involved when predicting the outcome of a weber b type of ankle fracture. Since it is supination external rotation type of mechanism, when there is displacement, most will need internal fixation to reattain normal anatomical alignment. As far as healing rates, it is patient dependent.
