have improved outcomes in displaced distal fibula fractures, thereby minimizing the risk of posttraumatic arthritis. 10 11 12 13 Traditionally, they have been fixed with an interfragmentary screw and a lateral neutralization plate or by posterior plating using the antiglide principle; with an increasing trend toward locking plates and newer anatomical precontoured plates; especially in osteoporotic fractures, where they offer greater pull out strength and a higher number of screws in the distal segment. 10 14 15 So far, there is no consensus over the ideal method of fixation.
