DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04397-2
Abstract: Only 6.4–17% of the load is transmitted through the fibula when weight-bearing. Plate fixation of distal fibular fractures using minifragments (≤ 2.8 mm) could lead to similar reduction with less implant removal (IR) rates, compared to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3928/01477447-20200213-04
Abstract: A previously undescribed pitfall of lateral distal fibular locking plates is the risk of violating the lateral malleolar fossa (MF). No previous study has described the dimensions of this fossa. All cases using a lateral… read more here.
