Cannulated Intramedullary Screw Fixation of Distal Fibular Fractures.

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) methods, primarily plates and screws, remain the standard of treatment for distal fibular fractures. This study evaluates the use of a cannulated intramedullary screw as a minimally invasive treatment method for distal fibular fractures, which has not been reported in the current literature. This retrospective study included 45 patients with distal fibular fractures treated with cannulated intramedullary screw fixation.
