The mean age was 41.7 \u00b1 10.5 years. In all, 28 (46.7%) patients received lateral surface plating and 32 (53.3%) patients received posterior surface plating. The mean time gap between the injury and the surgery was significantly more among patients who underwent lateral plate insertion ( P &lt; .001). The mean operative time required for both the procedures was comparable, hence nonsignificant (P = .576). The mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score (AOFAS) after 2 years of operation was significantly higher for posterior plate insertion ( P = .014). The complication rates as well as the implant removal rates were higher in patients with lateral plating ( P &lt; .05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Posterior surface plating can be considered as the procedure of choice for isolated type B Weber lateral malleolus fractures with respect to better functional outcome, lesser complications rates, and need for implant removal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level III: Economic\/decision<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/19386400221079197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,23]],"date-time":"2022-02-23T01:23:48Z","timestamp":1645579428000},"page":"155-161","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparison of Posterior and Lateral Surface Plating for Type B Weber Lateral Malleoli Fractures"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6893-4238","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Atmananda","family":"Hegde","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chethan","family":"Shetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nitin","family":"Joseph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6031-1607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prajwal","family":"Mane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/17453679809002355"},{"key":"bibr2-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.73B1.1991782"},{"key":"bibr3-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1950.01250010980011"},{"key":"bibr4-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131-198701040-00002"},{"key":"bibr5-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0020-1383(92)90040-Y"},{"key":"bibr6-19386400221079197","volume":"18","author":"Velez NM","year":"2004","journal-title":"Acta Ortop\u00e9dica Mexicana"},{"key":"bibr7-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4236\/ojo.2014.411046"},{"key":"bibr8-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131-200208000-00008"},{"key":"bibr9-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070502600403"},{"key":"bibr10-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcot.2017.06.005"},{"key":"bibr11-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rbo.2012.09.005"},{"key":"bibr12-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4172\/2329-910X.1000200"},{"key":"bibr13-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22271\/ortho.2020.v6.i3i.2254"},{"key":"bibr14-19386400221079197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079501600402"}],"container-title":["Foot &amp;
