Abstract
A simple method of ankle stabilization using a long trifin nail, inserted from below, is described. The method is particularly suitable in the elderly, when a short period of bed rest and early weight bearing is desirable. The procedure is contraindicated if subtalar joint motion is present and should be preserved.Mesh：
