Finite element analysis and a pilot study of different fixation constructs for Danis-Weber A and B lateral malleolus fractures

Abstract Background Displaced lateral malleolus fractures are typically stabilised through open reduction and internal fixation. The biomechanically and clinically efficacy of locking plates and lag screws, particularly in Weber A and B distal fibular fractures remains a subject of contention. This...
