Seven cases with medial malleolar fracture were treated using tension band wiring that involved the use of a screw to anchor with a figure eight wire. In all cases, satisfactory results were obtained. This method reduces soft tissue stripping and retraction associated with the creation of a hole for the wire, reduces the possibility of wire cut out through the osteoporotic bone, and provides stable fixation.
