It is usually accompanied by fracture of the diaphysis of the fibula (Fig.
Local pressure also may make the fibula yield and may elicit crepitus.
Bennett of Dublin has pointed out that it is common to meet with an oblique fracture of the upper third of the fibula as the result of an outward twist of the ankle while the foot is extended.
The deficiency of the upper end may be compensated for by implanting the head of the fibula between the condyles of the femur, and that at the lower end by splitting the fibulaso as to form a socket for the talus.
The epiphysial cartilage at the lower end of the fibula lies on the level of the talo-tibial articulation, while that of the tibia is about half an inch higher (Fig.
Oblique Fracture of Tibia; with partial Separation of 6 Epiphysis of Upper End of Fibula; and Incomplete Fracture of Fibula in Upper Third 4.
The displacement may be forward or backward, and the head of the fibula can be felt in its new position with the prominent tendon of the biceps attached to it.
Fracture of the fibula alone# may result from direct violence, and, on account of the support given by the tibia, is usually unattended by displacement.

Transverse fracture of the head of the fibula sometimes accompanies fracture of the head of the tibia, and there is always considerable effusion into the knee-joint.
Bennett of Dublin has pointed out that in some persons the upper end of the fibula does not reach the facet on the tibia--a condition which might be mistaken for a dislocation.
Fractures of the tibia or fibula alone are treated on the same lines as fractures of both bones, and splints are rarely necessary.
In the second variety, fracture by inversion, the first effect of the force is to break the fibula at the external malleolus.
The fibula is seldom broken, the usual seat of the fracture being in the tip of the internal malleolus or in the articular surface of the tibia.
There is great tenderness between the tibia and fibula at the front of the ankle, and over the points of fracture in the malleoli.

Entry, at the anterior margin of the fibula 5 inches above the external malleolus; the track crossed the anterior aspect of the leg obliquely, to its exit 1 inch above the centre of the ankle joint.
It is also interesting to note the insignificance of the fracture of the fibula from this aspect.
A slight fissure fracture of the fibula may be seen in the upper portion of the plate.
As the shadows of the metal fragments on the tibia are not sharp enough to indicate their position to be near the plate, the ball has lodged anteriorly between the tibia and fibula after ricocheting from the anterior surface of the tibia.
The course of the ball from the internal malleolus across to the lower end of the tibia and fibula is well marked by the trail of metal particles left by the contact of the ball with the bones.
The course of the bullet was anteroposterior, striking the fibula from behind with a velocity of long range, and causing some slight fragmentation without displacement of the fragments.
The sharp outline of fibula and the base of fifth metatarsal shows the fibula to be next to the plate.
The remaining energy of the missile was almost entirely spent on the tibia, causing a long oblique fracture, so that the contact with the fibula resulted in a crack only, without the separation of a fragment.

The second of these early records is the inscription on a gold fibula found at Praeneste and published in 1887.
The inscription is probably not older than that on the fibula from Praeneste, but has the additional interest of being undoubtedly couched in the Latin of Rome.
If pleased by the song of the singer employed by the praetor No fibula long will hold out, free, the actor will greet her.
While these changes were in progress the radius and ulna of the fore limb became consolidated to a single bone; and in the hind limb the fibula dwindled to a splint, while the tibia was correspondingly enlarged.
The forearm and the lower leg each had still two separate bones (ulna and radius, fibula and tibia), neither pair having been replaced with a single strong bone, as in the leg of the horse.
In a cellular sarcoma of the humerus of a boy we resected the shaft and inserted his fibula ten years ago, and he shows no sign of recurrence.
In advanced cases the segment of bone is resected and a portion of the tibia or fibula from the other limb inserted into the gap; a tube of radium should also be introduced.
In the peronei tendons, for example, it may result from disease of the fibula or of the ankle-joint.
The contrast between the grossly enlarged and misshapen tibia and the normal or even attenuated fibula is a striking one.
In the leg, the distal end of the fibula is so completely united with the tibia that it appears to be a mere process of the latter bone, as in the Horses.

The fibula is distinct, but very slender, and its distal end is ankylosed with the tibia.
The fibula appears to be in the same condition as in the horse.
The fibulaseems also to have been complete; its lower end, though intimately united with that of the tibia, is clearly united with that of the latter bone.
But, in the horse, the fibula seems, at first, to be reduced to its upper end; a short slender bone united with the tibia and ending in a point below occupying its place.
