The Fracture Ankle Implant Review (FAIR) study: a national multicentre retrospective review of practice in implant choice, fixation methods, and outcomes in fixation of the fibula in ankle fractures

The Fracture Ankle Implant Review (FAIR) study: a national multicentre retrospective review of practice in implant choice, fixation methods, and outcomes in fixation of the fibula in ankle fractures
