Cover Story: Ankle fractures, comprising about 10% of musculoskeletal injuries, pose a significant healthcare burden with an increasing incidence, particularly among an aging population. This study focuses on isolated Danis–Weber type B fractures. Recent trends lean towards surgical intervention for anatomical restoration and quicker recovery, albeit with associated complications. This report aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the NewClip narrow locking plate system with early weight-bearing in treating isolated fibular fractures. We found that the use of this type of plate in treating isolated fibular fractures with early weight-bearing shows promising results in terms of fracture healing, pain resolution, and functional outcomes, warranting further investigation with larger cohorts.
