Abstract
Anatomical reduction and internal fixation of displaced lateral malleolar fractures
are the cornerstone of the operative treatment of ankle fractures. The classical method
of fixation is the application of one-third tubular plates laterally to the distal
fibula, a technique, however, that has several disadvantages. In exceptional cases
and under special circumstances we prefer a dorsal approach with the use of an antiglide
plate. Indications, technique and experiences are discussed.
