Posterior Antiglide Plating vs Lateral Neutralization Plating for Weber B Distal Fibular Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Clinical and Biomechanical Studies.

Background: Distal fibular fractures are extremely common, yet there remains controversy about which type of plating technique is the most appropriate. We aimed to compare clinical and biomechanical outcomes following posterior antiglide plating and lateral neutralization plating for Weber B distal fibular fractures.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature was conducted by two independent reviewers according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
