| Abstract |
The aim was minimally invasive osteosynthesis of a distal fibular fracture under the premises of poor soft tissue conditions and existing chronic comorbidities to enable rapid recovery and to reduce soft tissue stress in order to avoid postoperative infections and achieve early weight bearing. This involved a distal fibula fracture, classified as 44 B1.1, B1.2, B1.3 according to the working group for osteosynthesis (AO) or a B fracture after Danis and Weber with indications for surgery (cortical disruption and shaft offset > 5 mm), age > 65 years, poor soft tissue conditions and a Charlson score ≥ 1. Acute or incompletely healed infection in the implantation area, allergy to dental adhesive or implant material, open fractures, multifragmentary and severely dislocated fractures. The surgical technique is demonstrated in detail with the help of a video of the operation and which is available online. A 1-2 cm long incision at the distal pole of the fibula, insertion of an intramedullary wire, reaming of the medullary canal and insertion of the IlluminOss balloon implant, filling the balloon with monomer and curing using visible blue light (436 nm), shortening of the implant, radiological control and wound closure. Postoperative cooling and elevation of the affected limb, free mobility after postoperative day 1, pain-adjusted full load bearing in VacoPed boot for 6 weeks (depending on pain and swelling). Study currently ongoing, no complications or revisions so far. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 December 2016.
All research outputs
#22,759,802
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Die Unfallchirurgie
#439
of 819 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#361,827
of 421,374 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Die Unfallchirurgie
#8
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 819 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,374 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
