A<unk> , is a fracture of the distal part of the tibia, involving its articular surface at the ankle joint.<unk> s are caused by rotational or axial forces, mostly as a result of falls from a height or motor vehicle accidents.<unk> s are rare, comprising 3 to 10 percent of all fractures of the tibia and 1 percent of all lower extremity fractures, but they involve a large part of the weight-bearing surface of the tibia in the ankle joint. Because of this, they may be difficult to fixate and are historically associated with high rates of complications and poor outcome.<unk>  is the French word for "pestle" and was introduced into orthopedic literature in 1911 by<unk> eer French radiologist Étienne Destot.
