Techniques for fixation of fractures of the lateral
malleolus have remained essentially unchanged since the 1960s, but
are associated with complication rates of up to 30%. The fibular
nail is an alternative method of fixation requiring a minimal incision
and tissue dissection, and has the potential to reduce the incidence
of complications. We reviewed the results of 105 patients with unstable fractures
