Introduction

In this e-module, an expert faculty provides an overview of the surgical management of SAD (Supination Abduction) type fracture, specifically OTA 44A2.3, commonly known as a Bimalleolar Ankle Fracture. Learners are guided through the planning phase with imaging review, and the expert faculty demonstrates the surgical technique from initial exposure of the fractured site, precise reduction of the fragments, and fixation using the EVOS plating small system, ensuring optimal stability and alignment. The video concludes with insights into post-operative care and follow-up.
