title: [Load stable, minimal fibula osteosynthesis in Weber type B malleolar fracture by hemicerclage].
abstract: Simple lateral malleolar fractures type B according to Weber can be fixed with a hemicerclage alone. Technique and results at sixteen own cases are shown. At this indication the hemicerclage is regarded as a good alternative to common methods of osteosynthesis. Advantages are simplicity, minimal damage of soft tissue and bone, high interfragmentary compression and allowed full weight bearing.
