Posterior Antiglide Plating vs Lateral Neutralization Plating for Weber B Distal Fibular Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Clinical and Biomechanical Studies.

The results of this review indicate that using posterior antiglide plating for distal fibular Weber B-type fractures is associated with significantly fewer reoperations due to hardware complications and less hardware discomfort compared to lateral neutralization plating. This technique does not appear to increase the risk of peroneal tendon irritation or increase operative time.
