Von Mises Stress (VMS) distribution varies concerning different fracture types (Danis-Weber A and B) and fixation/implant methods (FMLP, CLP with or without interfragmentary screw) in the two-foot standing position. A1: FMLP for the type A fracture model. A2: FMLP plus an interfragmentary screw for the type A fracture model. A3: CLP for the type A fracture model. A4: CLP plus an interfragmentary screw for the type A fracture model. B1: FMLP only for the type B fracture. B2: FMLP plus an interfragmentary screw for the type B fracture. B3: CLP only for the type B fracture. B4: CLP plus an interfragmentary screw for the type B fracture. a. VMS distribution cloud diagram of the overall structure and fibula. b. VMS distribution cloud diagram of plate, screws, and interfragmentary screw
