Confirmatory biomechanical evidence of its strength when used to secure a supination external rotation (SER) IV (AO\/OTA 44B-type) fracture, compared with traditional plates and screws, is currently lacking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty cadaveric lower limbs (10 cadavers) had a SER IV injury surgically created. One leg was randomly allocated to fixation with a fibular nail and the other a lag screw and neutralization plate. A mechanical testing apparatus subjected all lower limbs to an axially loaded supination external rotation force to failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Superior ultimate torque to failure was demonstrated with a trend toward increased energy absorption in the nail group ( P = .28 and .07, respectively). No difference was demonstrated in angle at failure. All specimens in the plate group lost reduction at the bone-metal interface as a result of screw pullout. In contrast, all specimens in the nail group failed because of disruption of the lateral ligaments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
