An apparatus, adapted for resiliently holding resected fibula sections, comprises: a first connecting portion adapted for connecting a first resected fibular section of a patients fibula a second connecting portion adapted for connecting a second resected fibular section of the patients fibula and an elastic portion or member defined between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion adapted for resiliently holding the first resected fibular section and the second resected fibular section, whereby upon actuation by an impacting force caused by the patients movement, the elastic portion may resiliently buffer such an impacting force to prevent contacting or rejoining of the first and second resected fibular sections.
