Abstract
A 70-year-old patient with multiple medical problems presented to us with displaced closed very distal tibia and fibula fractures and a prior total knee replacement on the affected extremity. We treated the patient with an isolated fibula open reduction and internal fixation. At a 1-year follow-up, both the tibial and fibular fractures had healed, and the patient had an excellent outcome. "Fibula-only" fixation of very distal tibia-fibula fractures appears to be a viable option to manage these difficult fractures. The novelty of the case report lies in that this technique has not been described previously in the literature.
