Acute traumatic fibular bowing associated with tibial fractures

Abstract

Acute traumatic fibular bowing associated with angular fracture of the tibia was observed in three young adults. The fibular bowing may have had a negative effect on the healing of the tibial fracture by transmitting tension through the interosseous membrane, thereby preventing proper reduction of the tibial fracture fragments and delaying the union.
