[Osteosynthesis of distal lower leg fractures].

Unfavorable stability relationships in the case of distal lower leg bone fractures after tibiaosteosynthesis can lead to late postoperative complications such as the formation of pseudarthroses or a breaking of the metal plate. A possibility of decreasing the extent of these complications is provided by the simultaneous supply of osteosynthesis to both the tibia and fibula. For this purpose three individual cases were presented. Other results were discussed.
