Choosing the option between fibula plate and nail

Fibula is the secondary bone of our leg which connects knee to ankle along aside tibia as a secondary part .

It usually broke along aside tibia as an evidence of major accident

There is two option to fix it .

Firstly we are choosing about fibula nail as a simple procedure .

Surgeon needs only a pliers and nail after creating a port according to its position to fix it under the guidance of c arm .

If Surgeon go for here need to open the fracture to fix plate on the area . And needs for clam k wire and other nessary things to fix the fracture.

Why the options?

Surgeon choose the options according to the fracture , if the fracture line goes vertically ways or the both part of fibula resting perfectly and doesn't dislocated from its own position , surgeon goes for nail fixation.

If the fracture is not showing properly in x ray and both end of the bone misplaced after the injury or fracture line is going in a curved ways from upper end to other side lower end in a improper ways or reverse then we go for plate .

N. B Many times it can be chosen by patient himself as better option .
