Internervous Plane
No true internervous plane exists in this approach, but the approach is safe because the incision cuts down onto a subcutaneous bone.

Anterior Incision
Gently mobilize the skin flaps, taking care to identify and preserve the long saphenous vein, which lies just anterior to the medial malleolus. Accurately locating the skin incision will make it unnecessary to mobilize the skin flaps extensively. The saphenous nerve runs next to the vein, and two branches of it are bound to the vein. Take care not to damage the nerve; damage leads to the formation of a neuroma. Because the nerve is small and not easily identified, the best way to preserve it is to preserve the long saphenous vein, a structure that on its own is of little functional significance (Fig. 3-3).
Posterior Incision
Mobilize the skin flaps. The saphenous nerve is not in danger (see Fig. 3-7).

Deep Surgical Dissection

In cases of fracture, the periosteum already is breached. Protect as many soft tissue attachments to the bone fragment as possible to preserve its blood supply.
Anterior Incision
Incise the remaining coverings of the medial malleolus longitudinally to expose the fracture site. Make a small incision in the anterior capsule of the ankle joint so that the joint surfaces can be seen after the fracture is reduced (Fig. 3-4). This is especially important in vertical fractures of the medial malleolus where impaction at the anteromedial part of the distal tibial joint surface frequently occurs. The superficial fibers of the deltoid ligament run anteriorly and distally downward from the medial malleolus; split them so that wires or screws used in internal fixation can be anchored solidly on bone, with the heads of the screws covered by soft tissue (Fig. 3-5; see Fig.
10-3).

remaining structures around the back of the malleolus posteriorly to expose the
posterior aspect of the medial malleolus.
Posterior Incision
Incise the retinaculum behind the medial malleolus longitudinally so that it can be repaired (Figs. 3-6 and 3-7). Take care not to cut the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle, which runs immediately behind the medial malleolus; the incision into the retinaculum permits anterior retraction of the tibialis posterior tendon. Continue the dissection around the back of the malleolus, retracting the other structures that pass behind the medial malleolus posteriorly to reach the posterior margin (or posterior malleolus) of the tibia. The exposure allows reduction in some fractures of that part of the bone.
Note that, although this approach will allow visualization of most fractures using appropriate reduction forceps, the angle of the approach is

such that the displaced fragments are difficult to fix internally from this approach. Separate anterior approaches may be required to lag any posterior fragments back. It always is advisable to obtain an intraoperative radiograph showing the displaced fragment fixed temporarily with a K-wire before definitive fixation is inserted. To improve the view of the posterior malleolus, externally rotate the leg still further (Fig. 3-8; see Figs. 10-2 and
10-3).
Dangers of the Anterior Incision
Nerves
The saphenous nerve, if cut, forms a neuroma and may cause numbness over the medial side of the dorsum of the foot. Preserve the nerve by preserving the long saphenous vein.
Vessels
The long saphenous vein is at risk when the anterior skin flaps are mobilized. Preserve it, if possible, so that it can be used as a vascular graft in the future (see Fig. 10-1).
Dangers of the Posterior Incision
All the structures that run behind the medial malleolus (the tibialis posterior muscle, the flexor digitorum longus muscle, the posterior tibial artery and vein, the tibial nerve, and the flexor hallucis longus tendon) are in danger if the deep surgical dissection is not carried out close to bone (see Figs. 10-1 to 10-3).
Leave as much soft tissue attached to fractured malleolar fragments as possible; complete stripping renders fragments avascular.
