    AbstractThe authors present a retrospective study of 71 fractures seen in 70 patients who had sustained the Danis-Weber type-B fibular fracture. All patients had the fractures fixated with the posterior antiglide plate. Of the 71 cases studied, 2 developed peroneal tendonitis. No other type of complication related specifically to the antiglide plate was noted. Because of the very low incidence of complications and good biomechanical strength, the authors recommend the antiglide plate for the fixation of type-B fibular fracture.
