  • Title: [Load stable, minimal fibula osteosynthesis in Weber type B malleolar fracture by hemicerclage].
    Author: Maurer C, Ackermann J.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1993 Sep; 60(1-2):235-40. PubMed ID: 8226063.
    Abstract:
    Simple lateral malleolar fractures type B according to Weber can be fixed with a hemicerclage alone. Technique and results at sixteen own cases are shown. At this indication the hemicerclage is regarded as a good alternative to common methods of osteosynthesis. Advantages are simplicity, minimal damage of soft tissue and bone, high interfragmentary compression and allowed full weight bearing.
