Fracture of Lower Fourth of Tibia and Fibula: Left Leg

Fracture of the tibia and fibula.

Comp. Commtd. Fracture of Tibia & Fibula: Amputation

a fissure was discovered extending upwards through the shaft of the tibia as far as the articular cartilage. It was accordingly f ound necessary to amputate at the knee joint. A broad anterior flap, and as long as possible, extending down, in fact, to the edge of the laceration, was dissected off", the joint was then opened and a short posterior flap cut through the muscles at the back. The joi...

A case report of plastic deformity of fibula and fracture of tibia

Background: Plastic deformity is a fixed deformity of bones after application of force which is in contrast to elastic deformity, so it remains unchanged. It is a rare condition and is seen more commonly in upper extremity (forearm). Inability to recognize it causes limitation of motion and remaining of angular deformity. It occurs more commonly in children because of flexibility of their bones...

Fatigue fractures of the lower tibia and fibula in the same leg; report of a case.

Since attention was focused on the subject by Burrows (1940) many fatigue fractures of the lower fibula have been reported. Fatigue fractures of the lower tibia, however, are uncommon. Singer and Maudsley (1954), describing five cases, could find only three previous examples in the literature. I can find no record of fatigue fractures affecting the lower thirds of the tibia and the fibula of th...

Outcome of Distal Both Bone Leg Fractures Fixed by Intramedulary Nail for Fibula & MIPPO in Tibia

Background:  Fractures of the distal third of the tibia are mostly associated with a fibular fracture that often requires fixation. The preferred treatment of distal tibial fracture is the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis  (MIPPO) procedure. However, there are no clear cut guidelines on fixation of the fibular fracture and currently most orthopedic surgeons use a plate osteo...
