Abstract: SAI may occur in 10 up to 15% in patients presented with ankle fractures commonly associated with pronated, external rotated ankle injuries, [1] or Weber C fractures, and around 20% of ankle fractures require surgical stabilization [2]. Most misdiagnosed SAI complicated by chronic ankle pain, rapid degeneration, functional disabilities, instability and latent diastasis [3,4]. Evidence gap still prove a specific and standard care for SAI; fixation technique, screws size and numbers of cortices and weight bearing progression. On the other hand, drawbacks of SAI fixation presented some complications including limited ankle mobility, delayed weight bearing, risk of screw breakage and necessity of its removal [5,6], which may complicate by wound infection, screw breakage or syndesmotic diastasis [7].
