Abstract:
Surgical treatment of fibula fractures associated with unstable ankle injuries traditionally involves an extensile exposure, direct reduction of the fracture, and fixation with a plate and screw construct. Some patient populations may benefit from less invasive approaches and indirect reduction associated with fibular rods. The aim of this report is to demonstrate successful treatment of an unstable ankle injury in a geriatric patient with insulin dependent diabetes using a fibular rod.
