Ankle injuries are common, occurring most often among young males and older females. The ankle joint is crucial for stability and gait, making these injuries a significant source of disability.

Ankle injuries are usually treated operatively when there is loss of joint congruity and stability, and in this video, Dr. Agarwal-Harding takes us through the operative fixation of a bimalleolar ankle fracture. He talks about understanding why operative intervention is recommended, techniques involved, and other considerations.
