title: [Use of modified Weber's tension band wiring for treatment of ankle fractures].
abstract: Results of operative treatment of 16 ankle fractures using modified Weber's method in patients aged 20-67 (mean 45) are presented. An AO screw placed in tibia plafond as a point of anchorage of wire in Weber's method was used. Mazur's criteria were used to assess functional outcome. Excellent and good results were achieved in 13 cases. 3 rather fair results were observed.
