Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis using the oblong hole of a locking plate for comminuted distal fibular fractures
Abstract Background Nonunion is a rare complication for distal fibular fractures. However, when there is a high degree of comminution, nonunion may occur. In this article, we describe a novel technique that uses the oblong hole of a locking plate to lengthen the fibula for fracture reduction. This t...
