ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the clinical results of antiglide plate in the treatment of the Danis Weber type B aged ankle fracture. Methods Totally 36 aged cases of Danis Weber type B ankle fracture received ORIF (open reduction with internal fixation) with antiglide plate. Their functional results were evaluated according to the ankle scoring system. We also observed the complications, including failure of fixation, infection, wound dehiscence, and need for hardware removal. Results The clinical results were satisfactory, with the excellent and good ratio of ankle score being 91.6%. Conclusion Since the antiglide plate has theoretical advantages over the conventional lateral plate, it is recommendable for stabilization of Danis Weber type B ankle fractures.
