Ankle fractures are the fourth most common type of fracture seen in adults, and most often occur in active adults and the elderly. The term ankle fracture can refer to one or more breaks in any of the bones that comprise the ankle joint, including the tibia, the fibula, or the talus. One of the most widely used systems to classify ankle fractures is the Danis-Weber fracture classification. Understanding this system is essential as safe and effective rehabilitation of the ankle will be directly influenced by the type of fracture diagnosed.
