Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Fibular fractures may be isolated or associated with tibia injuries. Isolated fibular fractures are caused by direct lateral leg trauma and are anatomically splinted by an intact tibia. Distal fibular fractures may include a disrupted ankle joint, as evidenced by a widened mortise on the AP radiograph. Tibial fractures are classified by their location, amount of displacement, and presence of comminution.
