Abstract
The authors describe the case of a 13-year-old male with a Salter-Harris II fracture-subluxation of the fibula. Open reduction and internal fixation with a posterior antiglide plate achieved mortise stability and avoided penetration of the fibular physis by fixation devices. After searching the Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library databases, to our knowledge, there have been no published reports describing the advantages associated with the use of a posterior antiglide plate for fixation of the immature fibula.
