Fatigue fractures of the lower tibia and fibula in the same leg; report of a case.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 the same limb at the same time.
