While skiing at high speed, a 37-year-old man lost control, struck his left lower leg against a tree, and sustained a complex proximal tibia and fibula fracture initially managed with an external ...

Background Tibia shaft fractures (TSF) are common for men and women and cause substantial morbidity, healthcare use, and costs. The impact of nonunions ... opioids, and high per-patient costs.

In general, tibia fractures can be separated into three categories based on the location of the fracture. It should be noted that all open, or compound, fractures must be treated with special care.

7 The hypothesis of this study is that tibial strains and strain rates during treadmill running are much lower than during overground running. As repetitive high strains and strain rates contribute to ...

The proximal tibia is the upper part of the shinbone that connects to the knee joint. Proximal tibia fractures are fairly common lower-leg injuries. They can result from low-energy injuries or a ...

Background: Footballers constitute a unique group of patients with tibial shaft fractures. They tend to have excellent general health and well developed musculature in the leg, and their fractures are ...

What is a compound fracture? A compound fracture (also known as an “open fracture”) is a bone fracture that is accompanied by breaks in the skin, causing the broken ends of bone to come into contact ...

Background This study described a novel, minimally invasive reconstruction technique of lateral tibial plateau fractures using a three-screw jail technique and compared it to a conventional two ...

Her bone density scan, bone profile, and biochemistry were all normal. Although stress fractures are well recognised, bilateral distal tibial and fibular fractures are particularly rare. A high degree ...
