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.
