Lag screws pose many problems when used to treat short oblique fibula fractures, and can result in iatrogenic fractures and stripping during implantation. It is also often recommended to refrain from weight bearing when using this method of treatment because of the risk of shearing.

TriMed's Sidewinder plate eliminates the need for thread purchase at the fracture site, and converts axial loads into dynamic compression across the fracture site. Therefore, many surgeons can feel at ease encouraging their patients to weight bear sooner rather than later.
