Where should the incision be made for the FibuLock entry point?

• A. 1 cm proximal to the tip of the fibula
• B. 1 cm distal to the tip of the fibula
• C. 2 cm distal to the tip of the fibula
• D. At the tip of the fibula

Answer: (B)

The incision for the FibuLock entry point should be made 1 cm distal to the tip of the fibula. This location is significant because it provides optimal access to the fibula while minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding structures. Being 1 cm away ensures that the entry point is suitably distanced from the top of the fibula, allowing for easier insertion of the device without compromising the integrity of nearby muscles, tendons, or neurovascular structures. This specific measurement is designed to enhance both the effectiveness of the procedure and the safety of the patient, making it the preferred choice for the entry point.
