Distal fibula fractures involving the ankle are one of the most common fractures, often requiring open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws. The increased incidence of potential wound complications arising from open reduction methods led to a rejuvenated interest in the application of minimally invasive methods like intramedullary nailing of the fibula in the management of ankle fractures and isolated distal fibular fractures. A literature search was performed using Medline, Cochrane, and Embase from 1993 to 2023.
