Lower fibula. Medical search. Frequent questions

Fractures of the tibia are frequently associated with fibula fracture because the force is transmitted along the interosseous membrane to the fibula. (medscape.com)
When examining a patient for a lower leg fracture, one should first examine the patient for edema, ecchymosis, and point tenderness. (medscape.com)
broken fibula, mid lower section top break, still in alignment but fracture. (healthtap.com)
For example, a fracture at the end of the fibula is called a lateral malleolus fracture, or if both the tibia and fibular are broken, it is called a bimalleolar fracture. (aaos.org)
This force may then exit through the upper end of the fibula, creating a so-called Maisonneuve fracture . (wikipedia.org)
In the case of X-rays , demonstration of widening of the tibia and fibula 'mortise', a fracture of the medial malleolus , or a Maisonneuve fracture , will indicate an unstable or potentially unstable injury. (wikipedia.org)

WEDNESDAY, March 6, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Keto, Paleo, Atkins -- there's no shortage of low-carb diets to try, but new research suggests that over time, living low-carb can raise your risk of a heart condition called atrial fibrillation, or a-fib. (healthday.com)

It combines ultra-high resolution field emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and precise Focused Ion Beam (FIB) etch and deposition. (epfl.ch)
In recent years, focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) has been widely adopted in battery research, from interfacial analysis via 2D cross-sectioning to 3D tomography for quantitative characterization and modeling. (techbriefs.com)
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), for example, provides high-resolution 2D images of electrodes, and can be paired with focused ion beam (FIB) serial sectioning to produce a series of sequential 2D cross-section images that are recombined into a 3D representation of the electrode. (techbriefs.com)
It could be shown that amorphous surface layers originating from the preparation process by focused-ion beam (FIB) at 30 kV have a strong influence on the quantification: the local specimen thickness is overestimated by approximately a factor of two, and the germanium concentration is substantially underestimated.

The fibula (PL: fibulae or fibulas) or calf bone is a leg bone on the lateral side of the tibia, to which it is connected above and below. (wikipedia.org)
The bone has the following components: Lateral malleolus Interosseous membrane connecting the fibula to the tibia, forming a syndesmosis joint The superior tibiofibular articulation is an arthrodial joint between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the head of the fibula. (wikipedia.org)
The inferior tibiofibular articulation (tibiofibular syndesmosis) is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the lower end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia. (wikipedia.org)
The upper extremity or head of the fibula is of an irregular quadrate form, presenting above a flattened articular surface, directed upward, forward, and medialward, for articulation with a corresponding surface on the lateral condyle of the tibia. (wikipedia.org)
In contrast, the fibula is well covered by soft tissue over most of its course with the exception of the lateral malleolus. (medscape.com)
A partial or complete breakage of the lateral malleolus of fibula. (mcw.edu)
[1] Unlike the common lateral ankle sprains , when ligaments around the ankle are injured through an inward twisting, high ankle sprains are caused when the lower leg and foot externally rotates (twists out). (wikipedia.org)
It courses down the lateral compartment of the lower leg along with the peroneus longus muscle and the peroneus brevis muscle. (medscape.com)

Yet it is during plantarflexion that the ankle is most vulnerable: the talus has the least amount of articulation with the lower leg and the foot, and must be well-stabilized by the surrounding ankle muscles, as well as cushioned from above by core muscles. (irunfar.com)
Then, the off-kilter talus begins to drive itself into the space between the tibia and fibula. (irunfar.com)
The ankle joint consists of the talus resting within the mortise created by the tibia and fibula as previously described. (wikipedia.org)
Since the talus is wider anteriorly (in the front) than posteriorly (at the back), as the front of the foot is raised (dorsiflexed) reducing the angle between the foot and lower leg to less than 90°, then the mortise is confronted with an increasingly wider talus. (wikipedia.org)
