The malreduction of IAIFs in posterior malleolar fractures has been associated with talar subluxation and long-term post-traumatic arthritis. In this study, we establish IAIF defect finite element models of different sizes in posterior malleolar fractures and explored how IAIF defects predict the onset of post-traumatic arthritis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A reliable three-dimensional finite element model of the normal ankle was established. Finite element models with different sizes of IAIF defects were created to calculate ankle joint contact stress.
