From the case:
Ankle fracture - Weber B

Spiral fracture through the distal fibula. Fracture line through the ankle joint in keeping with a Weber B, with slight lateral talar shift (widening of medial clear space).
Well-corticated ossicle distal to the medial malleolus may be post-traumatic or congenital (i.e. an accessory ossicle).
From the case:
Ankle fracture - Weber B
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/29593/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Plate and screw internal fixation of distal fibular fracture. Lateral talar shift has been reduced with reduction of the fibula - distal syndesmosis must have been obviously stable at surgery and thus no diastasis screw was used.
Case Discussion
Just a standard Weber B. Remember that it is the medial height of the fracture that counts.
