Surgical approach and fixation material are crucial in the treatment of comminuted distal fibular fractures accompanied by tibial Pilon fractures. This study compared the efficacy of double-hooked locking plates and anatomic plates in minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) for...
