Anteroposterior radiograph of a Weber C trimalleolar fracture of the ankle in a 34-year-old patient (a), treated surgically by ORIF (b). After surgery, a plaster cast was applied to the operated ankle. At follow-up, 18 years later, the patient had a complete range of motion of the ankle, although the radiographs showed minor signs of osteoarthritis of the ankle, with narrowing of the superior space of the ankle mortise that measured 1.4 mm (c-d)
