Abstract
Surgery for unstable ankle fractures comes with risks of infection and painful, prominent hardware not infrequently requiring further surgery to remove plates and screws. The fibula nail offers the opportunity for lower profile hardware and minimally invasive surgical techniques. The technique for using the fibula nail is illustrated in detail; in addition, recent literature pertaining to the fibula nail is reviewed.
