Heres something Lee likes to bang on about - and he's right
attention to the screw trajectory and length of ulnar screws around the radial tuberosity, threatens blocking supination as the tuberosity and biceps get trapped

Im basically an anonymous operator in our trauma system
Accordingly ive never received much of a personal thank you from anyone ive ever operated on.
Until today - a personally delivered floral arrangement for Christmas
And what for? For NOT operating 😂

the displacement forces on the condyle are pretty huge, and even NWB, any valgus knee stress is going to want to wreck my reduction, so the distal DCS screws were placed to not only engage and compress the fragment, but to also 'haystack' against the most distal transverse screw

This one distal posterior screw being the killer, and driving right through the meat of the fragment and scraping along the roof of the notch (crosshairs on the CT demonstrate the screw position/trajectory)

doing some funky 3D image manipulation preop - could see the overlapping window of the condyle fragment and the limit of the notch (blumensaats line)
this is the only place (meaningful) transverse screws can go

I love it when you step back to look at the imaging following an case - and the result ends up being some utterly minimalistic yet biomechanically elegant solution.
Every single screw has a single simple purpose, yet the big picture is a construct which locks together

“High ankle sprain” can be such a misnomer. I’ve never liked the term
Syndesmotic tears can lead to massive joint instability if not recognized and appropriately managed.
This case was a missed maisonneuve with a completely normal NWB ankle plain film
