    A LITERATURE REVIEW IDENTIFIED THE ARTICLE, FISHLEY WG, BALDOCK T, HILLEY AJ, ET AL. THE FRACTURE ANKLE IMPLANT REVIEW (FAIR) STUDY : A NATIONAL MULTICENTRE RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF PRACTICE IN IMPLANT CHOICE, FIXATION METHODS, AND OUTCOMES IN FIXATION OF THE FIBULA IN ANKLE FRACTURES. BONE & JOINT OPEN. 2025 JUL;6(7):841-849. DOI: 10.1302/2633-1462.67.BJO-2025-0009.R1. PMID: 40675589; PMCID: PMC12270632. THIS STUDY PRESENTED RETROSPECTIVE DATA FROM 22 PARTICIPATING CENTERS IN THE UK IN 2019. THE STUDY PROVIDED A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF PATIENT OUTCOMES USING DIFFERENT FIXATION METHODS FOR ANKLE FRACTURES. A TOTAL OF 1,471 ANKLE FRACTURES UNDERWENT FIXATION WITH ONE-THIRD TUBULAR PLATES (N=883), A LOCKING PLATE (N=470), OR OTHER, UNSPECIFIED METHODS (N=118). THE IMPLANTS USED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING MANUFACTURERS: STRYKER (N=592), DEPUY SYNTHES (N=481), SMITH & NEPHEW (N=74), ACUMED (N=23), PARAGON (N=4), AND UNDOCUMENTED (N= N/A). IT WAS NOTED THAT PATIENTS THAT USED LOCKING PLATES OR OTHER METHODS WERE MORE COMMONLY USED TO TREAT PATIENTS WITH DIABETES, OSTEOPOROSIS, OR WERE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED. THE COMPLICATIONS REPORTED INCLUDED LATERAL WOUND BREAKDOWN IN 56 PATIENTS (3.8%) AND INFECTION IN 89 PATIENTS (5.9%). IN GENERAL, USE OF LOCKING PLATES WERE ASSOCIATED WITH MORE COMPLICATIONS COMPARED TO USE OF ONE-THIRD TUBULAR PLATES. ANALYSIS BY BRAND OF IMPLANTS OF LOCKING PLATES DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDED THAT SURGEONS REVIEW THE USE OF LOCKING PLATES, AS THEY HAVE AN INCREASED COST AND CHANCE OF LATERAL WOUND COMPLICATIONS COMPARED TO THE USE OF ONE-THIRD TUBULAR PLATES.
