Background: The most prevalent method for internal fixation of fibula injury is plate fixation, either with or without an interfragmentary compression screw. The present study was conducted to compare nailing with plating in treating fibular fractures. Materials & Methods: 84 patients of fibular fractures of both genders were divided into 2 groups of 42 each. Group I patients were treated with nailing and group II patients were treated with plating. Complications were recorded in both groups. Results: Group I had 22 males and 20 females and group II had 19 males and 23 females. The fracture was lateral malleolar in 18 in group I and 20 in group II, bimalleolar in 16 in group I and 17 in group II and trimalleolar in 8 in group I and 5 in group II respectively. The side involved was the left side in 21 in group I and 18 in group II, the right in 16 in group I and 20 in group II and both sides in 5 in group I and 4 in group II. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). The common complications were wound infection seen 2 in group I and 1 in group II, wound dehiscence 2 in group I and 1 in group II, ankle stiffness 3 in group I and 2 in group II, screw breakage in 2 in group I and 1 in group II, non- union 1 in group I and 0 in group II and delayed union 1 in each group. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: In the treatment of fibular fractures, plating has been demonstrated to be superior to nailing in terms of fewer post-operative problems.
