A member asked:
How is a miminally displaced unstable type b fibula fx usually treated ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ORIF: If unstable, usually orif with possible syndesmosis screws due to the instability of the ankle fracture. If only minimally displaced, just casting is adequate unless there are high risk factors for nonunion. Hope you're doing better since last followup.
