Malleolus - Type B Malleolar Fracture 44B - Plate Fixation

This presentation shows the internal fixation of lateral malleolus fracture with a 5-hole one-third tubular plate in a buttress position (antiglide plate according to Weber). It also shows an alternative technique using a 5-hole one-third tubular plate combined with a plate and independent p-a lag screw

Does this injury always require surgery? I currently have this fracture

This is actually wrong. There should be 3 holes proximal and 2 holes distal to the fracture plane on the 1/3 semitubular plate. Also, the Lauge Hansen classification for fibula fractures beginning below the level of the plafond falls under and supination external rotation (SER) mechanism, the fracture would have to be much further proximal to come under a pronation mechanism of injury.
