B-wedge fracture, C-complex. There are other subclassifications of the AO/OTA classification system based on the location and presence of associated fibula fracture. This classification is used more for research purposes.[5

Shaft Fracture of Tibia and FibulaESINIntramedullaryThe Objective is to evaluate Elastic Stable Intrame-dullary Nailing (ESIN) fixation through the treat-ment of children's shaft fracture of tibia and fibula. From January 2007 to January 2009, 16 cases of children's shaft fracture of tibia ...
The proximal tibia is triangular in shape with a vast metaphyseal region narrowing distally. The tibia shaft is a long bone that articulates with the talus, fibula and the distal femur. The vascular anatomy is extensive and dependent on the compartment of muscles it supplies. The anterior tibia...
Distal tibia fracture associated a fibula fracture (a and b) treated by intramedullary nailing with a double block screws with an evolution toward malunion Full size image Risk factors for malunion Based on the univariate analysis, age, gender, diabetes history, mechanism of injury, open fracture...
Malunion was determined from standard anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the tibia and fibula taken at 6 weeks and 12 months. Threshold values for malunion were determined by an independent trauma surgeon using OsiriX software (Pixmeo), version 7.5. These were coronal angulation of the ...

Postoperative x rays (A, B) of a distal tibial fracture resulting from torional force, that has been treated with fixation of the fibula according to the AO principles. Sublaxation of the ankle joint was revealed after removal of the unilateral external fixator (Γ, Δ). It has been treate...
We report a case of spontaneous intrauterine fracture of the right tibia and fibula in an otherwise healthy fetus at 20 weeks of gestation. The fracture healed in utero in an abnormal position. Postnatal development of the baby was normal with spontaneous correction of the angulation, and no und...
