    AbstractAccording to the manufacturer's instructions the application of a PHILOS plate is restricted to humeral fractures. An extension to other anatomical regions of the body is not provided; however, based on the anatomical design of the plate it was observed that the application of this plate also appears to be possible for the distal tibia. This article reports three different osteosyntheses by a reverse PHILOS plate on the medial malleolus and on the distal tibia posteriorly with a short and a long PHILOS plate design. In summary, the applications have so far resulted in primary wound healing with correct consolidation of the fractures.
