The Arrow shows the “double contour” sign. d Exposure of the PL fragment through the plane between NV bundle and FHL. The hohman retractor was placed on the tibia, gently blocking the NV from injury. e Temporary fixation of the PM fragment with TP tendon subluxated medially and FDL retracted laterally. f As the stress test was found positive, absorbable syndesmotic screws were placed.
