Does Intramedullary Nailing for Distal Fibular Fractures Restore Anatomic Parameters and Syndesmotic Relationship?
Category: Trauma; Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Fibular nailing (FN) is a method of fixation that has proven to be useful for the treatment of distal fibular fractures (DF). FN minimizes soft tissue complications, provides similar stability compared to plating with less hardware related symptoms. Neve...
