Surgically fixated bimalleolar<unk>  The broad goals of treating<unk> s are restoring the<unk>  joint to normal alignment, healing the fracture, and preventing arthritis. The stability of the<unk>  joint often dictates treatment. Certain fractures patterns are stable and are thus treated without surgery similarly to<unk>  sprains. Unstable fractures require surgery, most often an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), which is usually performed with permanently implanted metal hardware that holds the bones in place while the natural healing process occurs. A cast or splint will be required to immobilize the<unk>  following surgery. Stable<unk> s with preserved joint alignment may be treated with non-operative measures (splinting, casting, and/or walking boot).
