Hybrid, Suture Button, and Screw Fixation for Syndesmotic Stabilization in Isolated Danis Weber Type B and C Fibular Fractures

Foot & Ankle International | 2026 | Numan Mercan, Tevfik Çatal

Background: Syndesmotic fixation in ankle fractures remains controversial. Hybrid fixation combines a suture button device and a syndesmotic screw, but comparative evidence remains limited. This study compared hybrid, suture button (SB), and screw fixation in isolated Danis Weber type B or C fibular fractures requiring syndesmotic stabilization. Methods: This single-center retr...

Distal fibula locked plate versus nonlocked plate for treatment of Danis Weber type B fracture comparative prospective study

The Egyptian Orthopaedic Journal | 2024 | Tameem M Elkateb, Islam Koriem, Abraam N Mourice

Abstract Background Ankle fractures are one of the most common fractures affecting both the young and old. they are the third most common fracture in elderly patients. The appropriate method of fixation of those fractures is debatable especially for osteoporotic patients, osteoprosis renders commonly used internal fixation methods technically demanding and prone to failure. Aim...

Hybrid Fixation for Danis-Weber Type C Fractures With Syndesmosis Injury

Foot & Ankle International | 2021 | Gi Beom Kim, Chul Hyun Park

Background: This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of hybrid fixation for Danis-Weber type C ankle fractures with a syndesmotic injury. Methods: From January 2016 to April 2018, we retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients who underwent hybrid fixation for Danis-Weber type C ankle fractures with syndesmotic injury with a minimum follow-up of 12 mo...

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) versus open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of distal fibula Danis-Weber types B and C fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research | 2020 | Cesare Marazzi, Matthias Wittauer, Michael T. Hirschmann, Enrique A. Testa

Abstract Background Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has been reported to be superior to open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of different long bone fractures. Nevertheless, in distal fibula fractures, the evidence of MIPO remains scarce. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of the minima...

Radiographic analysis of adult ankle fractures using combined Danis-Weber and Lauge-Hansen classification systems

Scientific Reports | 2020 | Shu-Man Han, Tian-Hao Wu, Jin-Xu Wen, Yong Wang

AbstractThis study was to analyze ankle fractures for determining the epidemiology, types, distribution, possible mechanisms and diagnosis precision. Between January 2013 and December 2017, all Chinese patients older than 16 years of age with ankle fractures excluding old ankle fractures and pathological fractures in a tertiary care hospital were analyzed by using the Danis-Web...

Ankle Fracture Classification Systems: A Case for Integration of the Lauge-Hansen and AO-Danis-Weber Schemes

Foot & Ankle | 1992 | Marion C. Harper

The two dominant classification systems for ankle fractures in use are the Lauge-Hansen and AO-Danis-Weber schemes. Each has certain advantages and disadvantages. Because of basic similarities, integration of these systems into one scheme involving three basic patterns with appropriate staging appears to be reasonable. This integration is based upon combining the pronation-abdu...
