When the plate-loop-anchor internal fixation system is in use, the loop plate is fixed to the bone plate on the fibula side, which can achieve the fixation of the fibula fracture; the loop plate and the anchor are flexibly connected through an adjustable loop ring, which can achieve the elastic fixation of the tibiofibular syndesmotic, maintain the micro-motion characteristics of the tibiofibular syndesmotic fixation, and the overall function is perfect and practical.

[0004] In this regard, China's application announcement number: CN104248466B discloses a lateral malleolus bone fracture plate, including a long strip main board and a first wing plate and a second wing plate integrally formed on one side of the main board near the end; the main board is composed of a first plate body, a second plate body and a third plate body connected in sequence, the first plate body is provided with 2-6 locking and pressurizing holes and a first pinhole; the second plate body is provided with a locking and pressurizing sliding hole and a first locking hole; the third plate body is provided with a second locking hole and a third locking hole; a circular universal hole plate is formed at the end of the first wing plate, and a universal locking hole is formed in the middle of the universal hole plate; a circular locking hole plate is formed at the end of the second wing plate, and a fifth locking hole is formed in the middle of the locking hole plate, and the axes of the locking holes are not parallel to each other. The main board cooperates with the two wing plates to ensure that there is no displacement between the bone fracture plate and the lateral malleolus, which is conducive to faster recovery of the patient and ensures the treatment effect.

[0005] In view of the comminuted compression of the medial malleolus and the severe osteoporosis in elderly patients, there are few internal fixation options for medial malleolus fractures.
