In supination-external rotation (SER) stage 4 injuries, the medial malleolus or the deltoid ligament is disrupted. The stability of the deltoid ligament is essential for the functionality, however, the need for surgical repair remains debated. The aim of this study is to assess deltoid stability in 12 ankle fractures treated with an all-inside repair technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A prospective case series of 12 patients (8 men,4 women aged between 25 and 53 years who had a stage 4 LH SER ankle fracture with unstable deltoid ligament injury between September 2023 and February 2024.
