The complexity of the fractures for closed or open reduction requires careful surgical planning and experience. Acceptable reduction criteria in this fracture is crucial and should be followed strictly in order to get the favorable outcomes. Various reduction techniques have been described ranging from closed reduction by traction table or closed reduction with minimal direct manipulation with instruments to direct open reduction. This manuscript describes the mini open reduction, Watson-Jones and Smith-Petersen approaches, and some modifications in terms of indications, advantages, and disadvantages of each approach for the decision-making in these complex fractures. https://jost.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jost/article/view/509 https://jost.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jost/article/download/509/298
