Thin plate surgery for fibula fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies a specific type of surgery for a broken ankle bone (fibula) using a thin, locked metal plate. It aims to see how well this plate works, especially for patients with different types of ankle fractures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) when the injury happens
- You had surgery for a fibula fracture using a low-profile (thin) anatomical plate
- Your fracture could be just the fibula, or also include other parts of the ankle (such as the inner bone or back of the ankle or shin bone)
- You had standard X-rays of your ankle before and after surgery
- You do not object to being in the study

This study looks at how well a special locking nail works for ankle fractures in patients with skin problems or injuries that make standard surgery risky. It aims to find out who benefits most from this less invasive method.
This trial compares two surgical methods (a plate or a screw) for fixing a specific type of ankle fracture. It aims to find which approach leads to better healing and recovery for patients with these fractures.
This trial tests a new surgical implant system (Fibulink) for repairing a torn ligament between the shin bones (syndesmosis) along with an ankle fracture. The goal is to allow you to put weight on your foot earlier than usual after surgery.
This study compares two ways to fix a broken ankle involving the back and side bones. One method uses a single incision, the other uses two. It aims to see which gives better results.
This trial tests two ways to fix complicated ankle and lower leg fractures in people over 65. It compares using a nail through the heel versus plates and screws to see which helps you heal and move better.
This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing complex tibial plateau fractures (breaks in the upper shin bone near the knee) to see which one leads to better knee function. You may be able to join if you have this type of fracture and are between 18 and 65 years old.
