- (Same patient as image below)
- A 'Weber B' fracture is at the same level as the ankle joint
Ankle - Malleolus fracture - Weber B - Lateral
- (Same patient as image above)
- The lateral view shows a less obvious fracture line through the distal fibula - partly obscured by the tibia
Ankle - Bimalleolar fracture - Weber C - AP
- The lateral malleolus fracture is a 'Weber C' injury - above the ankle joint
- There is a transverse medial malleolus fracture
- The distal tibiofibular joint is also widened
