The risk factors attributing to the avulsion fracture of anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) in surgically treated ankle fractures
AITFL injuries appeared more commonly in ankle fractures than previously thought, and were frequently overlooked clinically. Recognizing AITFL fractures associated with ankle fractures through CT imaging is imperative, and timely repair is crucial for optimizing functional outcomes. Our findings provide clinicians with insights on such injuries for better surgical management.
