Fracture Tibia and Fibula eMedicine Emergency

Lower leg fractures include fractures of the tibia and fibula. Of these two bones, the tibia is the only weightbearing bone. Fractures of the tibia generally are associated with fibula fracture, because the force is transmitted along the interosseous membrane to the fibula. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are very thin...

Descriptive and Surgical Anatomy Tibia Fibula

Osteology of Tibia/fibula
The Tibia is situated at the anterior und inner side of the leg, and, excepting the femur, is the longest and largest bone in the skeleton. It is pris-moid in form, expanded above, where it enters into formation with the knee joint, and more slightly below. In the...

Congenital deficiency of the fibula JBJS B

Member Ratings: (1 vote)

Abstract - Ninety-seven limbs, in eighty-one patients, with a diagnosis of congenital deficiency of the fibula have been reviewed. A classification was devised to distinguish the minimal hypoplasia of the fibula (Type I) from the well-known complete absence (Type II). Congenital anomalies of the femur were present in 76 per...

Congential aplasia and dysplasia of the tibia with intact fibula JBJS B

We have reviewed congenital aplasia or dysplasia of the tibia with intact fibula in twenty children (twenty-nine limbs). We have described four morphological groups and four radiological types, and have proposed the clinical and radiological features which in early infancy distinguish these varieties, which vary in their prognosis. We regard...

The Role of Anterior Spinal Instrumentation and Allograft Fibula for the Treatment of Pott Disease

H. Mustafa Özdemir, MD*; A. Kemal Us†; Tunç Ögün* Spine 28(5):474-479, 2003.
Conclusion: The use of anterior spinal stabilization accompanied with a structural allograft fibula is effective after proper radical débridement for interbody fusion, deformity correction, and maintenance in cases of multisegment-involved Pott's disease (spinal tuberculosis).

Ankle Arthrodesis Using Antegrade Intramedullary Nail for Salvage of Nonreconstructable Tibial Pilon Fractures Ortho Supersite

The treatment of nonreconstructable tibial pilon fractures for which the optimal timing for reduction and fixation has been missed is challenging. Ankle arthrodesis may be a treatment option in such cases. We treated 2 patients with nonreconstructable tibial pilon fractures using ankle arthrodesis with an antegrade intramedullary nail. Our method...

Fibula Shaft Fractures Orthopaedia

Isolated fractures of the fibular shaft are uncommon and are usually the result of a direct blow. More commonly, fibular shaft fractures occur in association with fractures of the tibia or ankle injury.

Abt & Hurwitz 2007
Triplane fractures of the distal tibia are generally sustained during adolescence and occur before complete closure of the distal tibial physis (growth plate). Incomplete closure of the tibial growth plate, as well as the stress forces applied during injury, are responsible for the unique occurrence of this...

components:
1. fracture of the proximal third of the fibula
2. rupture of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis
associated with:
* fracture of the tibia
* rupture of the deltoid ligament

Proximal Fibular Fractures Orthopaedia

Fractures of the proximal fibula rarely occur in isolation and their significance lies more with this fracture's association with injuries to the ligamentous and neurovascular structures than with the boney injury.

Insufficiency fracture is a subgroup of stress fracture. Unlike the other subtype (ie, fatigue fracture), insufficiency fracture is caused by normal or physiologic stress upon weakened bone. Loss of bone trabeculae decreases the bone's elastic resistance.
Awareness is increasing concerning the occurrence of these fractures among older persons. Sites frequently affected...
