ABSTRACT:
A novel fibular intramedullary rod obviates the need to use bone plates to treat fibular fractures. The rod comprises a solid or cannulated elongated member which is insertable upwardly into the fibular medullary canal. The proximal portion of the rod is smaller in diameter than the tapered distal portion which may be obliquely truncated. The rod is slightly curved or bowed and provided with screw receiving transverse holes.
