Dr. Randall Beckman
Podiatry
In brief: Good
This depends on a lot of factors including how large the posterior fragment is and if it was reduced, how the syndesmosis is fixated, and if there is any other additional injuries other than the bone like an osteochondral fracture.

Orthopedic Surgery - Foot & Ankle
In brief: Many variables
Results from ankle fracture management depend on the surgeon's ability to obtain "perfect" alignment as very subtle discrepancies can have profound affects on ankle mechanics.
