The laterally comminuted fracture-dislocation of the ankle can be associated with devastating consequences. Previously described surgical as well as nonsurgical-treatment results have been disappointing. Accurate anatomical reduction and rigid fracture stabilization of a comminuted fibula can be extremely difficult. This manuscript presents some of the more common methods of comminuted fibular fracture fixation described in the literature. A case report demonstrates successful anatomical stabilization of a comminuted fibula, utilizing a method for internal fibular fixation which has been previously employed, but has not been advocated, in the literature. Clinical and radiographic results at 12 and 20 months post-injury are promising.
