"This classification was first described by the Belgian general surgeon, Robert Danis (1880-1962), in 1949. It was later modified and popularised by the Swiss orthopaedic surgeon, Bernhard Georg Weber (1929-2002), in 1972 2."
"Weber B fractures could be further subclassified as 9"
"usually stable if medial malleolus intact; treat with CAM Walker or Moon Boot with crutches and weight bear as tolerated with them for 6 weeks"
"distal extent of the fracture at the level of the syndesmosis (trans-syndesmotic); may extend some distance proximally"
"variable stability, dependent on the status of medial structures (malleolus/deltoid ligament) and syndesmosis; may require open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)"
