For the patient presented in Fig. 5, the PMF was reduced using ligamentotaxis following ORIF of lateral and medial malleoli. Percutaneous screw fixation of PMF was achieved through a stab incision. The postoperative sagittal reconstruction of CT images provided more precise determination of residual articular step-off of the posterior malleolus which could be easily ignored in radiographs
