COMMENTS:

Insertion of transosseous elements is dangerous at this level only in positions 5 and 11 by the possibility to injure magistral vessels and nerves - other positions are intact.
The application of positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 and 10 is optimal at this level, because in this case the transosseous elements will minimally stand in the way of soft tissue displacement relative to the tibia while motions in the ankle joint.
