Regardless of whether the fracture is an isolated injury or associated with other lesions, internal fixation is the preferred option, providing that stable anatomical reduction can be achieved, so as to enable an exercise regime to be instituted immediately
If internal fixation is not possible, or if a successful outcome is uncertain, it should not be considered. The patient is not helped by IF that does not restore the anatomical pattern or which requires protective immobilization.
