Non-union of Weber B distal fibula fractures: a case series.

Lorcan McGonagle1, Peter Ralte, Steven Kershaw.   

Abstract

Non-union of distal fractures of the fibula type Weber B is rare. Undisplaced and minimally displaced isolated lateral malleolar fractures (Weber B) usually unite without operative intervention. We present three cases of lateral malleolus non-union in healthy individuals. Two were treated with internal fixation plus bone grafting. The third patient remained asymptomatic and therefore did not undergo surgery for the fracture. Copyright (c) 2010 European Foot and Ankle Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
