  • Title: The posterior antiglide plate for fixation of fractures of the lateral malleolus.
    Author: Wissing JC, van Laarhoven CJ, van der Werken C.
    Journal: Injury; 1992; 23(2):94-6. PubMed ID: 1572723.
    Abstract:
    Anatomical reduction and internal fixation of displaced lateral malleolar fractures are the cornerstone of the operative treatment of ankle fractures. The classical method of fixation is the application of one-third tubular plates laterally to the distal fibula, a technique, however, that has several disadvantages. In exceptional cases and under special circumstances we prefer a dorsal approach with the use of an antiglide plate. Indications, technique and experiences are discussed.
