Comparison of modern locked plating and antiglide plating for fixation of osteoporotic distal fibular fractures

摘要

Background: Fractures in osteoporotic patients can be difficult to treat because of poor bone quality and inability to gain screw purchase. The purpose of this study is to compare modern lateral periarticular distal fibula locked plating to antiglide plating in the setting of an osteoporotic, unstable distal fibula fracture.
