Mathematical Modelling of Destabilization Stress Factors of Stable-Elastic Fixation of Distal Trans- and Suprasyndesmotic Fibular Fractures

Figure 3

Determination of the fixing thread tension force for the stable-elastic fixation of unstable fractures of the ankle joint with damage to syndesmosis for the person of high height (a) and for the person of low height (b). 1 is the fractured fibula blocked by the intramedullary nail; 2 is the healthy fibula.
