Introduction

Positive reports from implant designer centres on the use of fibular nails in the complex ankle fractures has resulted in a marked increase in their use nationally. Our aim in this study was to report on the outcomes of the use of all fibular nails in two major trauma centres.

Methods

All patients who underwent ankle fracture fixation using a fibular nail in two major trauma centres, were included for analysis. MTC 1 included patients from April 2013 to May 2015, and MTC 2 included patients February 2015 to March 2018. A minimum follow up of 1 year was achieved for all patients. Radiographic reduction was confirmed by Pettrones criteria at time of operation and at 6 weeks and 1 year post-operatively. Kellgren Lawrence radiographic criteria was used to classify osteoarthritis. All complications and further surgery were recorded.
