ABSTRACT
This article explores different nontraditional methods that could be adopted in clinical settings as alternatives to the traditional fibular fixation. Less invasive methods, such as intramedullary nail and screw fixation, might be viable alternatives for managing ankle fractures. These methods might especially benefit patients with poor soft tissue envelopes, low immunity, and poor bone quality. There is minimal soft tissue coverage for most orthopedic implants around the ankle. Various authors have highlighted the importance of minimally invasive surgery as an effective modality for ensuring superior prognosis for ankle fracture surgery or those fractures involving both the distal tibia and fibula.
