Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare different positions of plates in lateral malleolar Danis-Weber B fractures on synthetic bone: a lateral plate and a posterior antiglide plate.
Methods: Short oblique fractures of distal fibula at the level of the syndesmosys were simulated with a fibular osteotomy in sixteen synthetic fibula bones (Synbone®). Eight fractures were fixed with lateral plating associated with an independent lag screw, and the other eight were fixed with posterior antiglide plating with a lag screw through the plate. A strain gage was installed at the center of each plate at the osteotomy site. Supination and external rotation forces were applied to each of the two groups at the bend.
Results: The lateral position plate group suffered more deformity in response to supination forces compared to the group with the posterior antiglide plate, but this result was not statistically significant. In the tests with external rotation forces, the posterior antiglide plating group had significantly higher resistance (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: When subjected to external rotation forces, osteosynthesis with posterior antiglide plate models simulating type B fractures of the lateral malleolus of the ankle is more resistant than that of the neutralization plate.

How we do it? Trimalleolar Fractures: Posterolateral Approach for Fixing the Syndesmotic Ligament, Posterior Malleolus, and Fibula.

Introduction: Syndesmotic injury in trimalleolar fracture is necessary to address intraoperatively by stability test, as it affects post-operative functional outcomes. Most of syndesmotic injuries are stable after fixation of the posterior malleolus, but in rare cases, syndesmosis is not stable after adequate fixation. In those rare conditions, we have to fix syndesmosis by corticocancellous (CC) screw throw lateral fibula plate.

We aimed to describe the morphological characteristics of Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fractures, with special attention given to the end-tip locations of fracture apexes, and to construct a 3D (three-dimensional) fracture line map. A total of 114 surgically treated cases of type B lateral malleolar fractures were retrospectively reviewed. The baseline data were collected, and computed tomography data were reconstructed in a 3D model.

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.

Introduction: Plating of unstable OTA/AO 44-B2 equivalent lateral malleolus (Danis-Weber B) fractures has been associated with pain, peroneal irritation, and the need for subsequent hardware removal (ROH). The purpose of this study is to retrospectively compare the rates of ROH in unstable Weber B fractures fixed with a posterior, true antiglide plate with no screws in the distal segment versus those that were fixed with a similarly placed posterior, neutralization construct that included screws in the distal fragment. Thus, evaluating the role of the distal screws in rates of ROH.

Introduction: Coronal plane fractures of the distal humerus are relatively rare and can be challenging to treat due to their complexity and intra-articular nature. There is no gold standard for surgical management of these complex fractures. The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical stability and strength of two different internal fixation techniques for complex coronal plane fractures of the capitellum with posterior comminution.
