Abstract
Locking plates are indicated for comminuted intra-articular fractures, peri-articular fractures and fractures in osteoporotic bones. We describe a case of an adult with osteoporosis and fracture of his left tibia & fibula, which was treated with a locking plate and report a cutout into the ankle. We try to determine its causes and suggest preventive measures in order to avoid the same.
