Core Tip	Locking plate fixation in osteoporotic ankle fractures may fail due to cut-out or metalwork failure. This study compared a fibula pro-tibia construct to standard locking plate fixation in an ankle fracture saw bone model. The fibula pro-tibia construct demonstrated biomechanical superiority and there is merit to consideration of its use in patients with unstable osteoporotic ankle fractures.
