Aims.
Using human cadaver specimens, we investigated
the role of supplementary fibular plating in the treatment of distal
tibial fractures using an intramedullary nail. Fibular plating is
thought to improve stability in these situations, but has been reported
to have increased soft-tissue complications and to impair union
of the fracture. We proposed that multidirectional locking screws
provide adequate stability, making additional fibular plating unnecessary.

Aims. Dual plating of distal femoral fractures with medial and lateral implants has been performed to improve construct mechanics and alignment, in cases where isolated lateral plating would be insufficient. This may potentially compromise vascularity, paradoxically impairing healing. This study investigates effects of single versus dual plating on

Over an eight-year period up to 1983, a total of 322 consecutive patients had operations for ankle fractures; 176 were Weber type B and 128 type C. We were able to review 230 of these patients after a mean follow-up of six years (1 to 11) including 128 with Weber B and 102 with Weber C fractures. We used an ankle score which combined symptoms and clinical and radiological findings, with a maximum score of 100 points. The mean score for all 230 was 92 (68 to 100).
