[Experiences with AO-semitubular plate in the stabilization of ankle fractures].
Anatomical restoration of the lateral malleolus in ankle dislocation fractures is known to be very important. With the AO-small semitubular plate an armamentarium is available which accomplishes this task very well. Exercising stability nearly always can be attained. In case of postoperative infection, healing generally takes place without plate removing and, therefore, under good fracture position.
