The tibia is the large shin bone situated between the ankle and the knee. The fracture occurred in this bone is treated with the help of Trauma implants such as locking head screw, locking head cancellous screw, locking dorsal distal radius L-plate, lateral tibia locking plate, locking anterolateral distal tibia plate and so on.
This area of the body is known as (in medical terms) the leg, and together with thigh and foot, create the lower extremity (the leg is only the part between the ankle and knee, even though several people refer to the lower extremity as the ‘leg’). There are 2 bones of the leg – tibia and the fibula.
The tibia is the larger bone that people usually refer to as the shin bone. Most of the weight of the body is supported by the tibia. The fibula is a smaller bone located on the outside of the leg. It doesn’t support much body weight, although it does serve important functions at the ankle and knee joint and is the attachment of ligaments and muscles.
Tibia Fractures
Tibial shaft fractures are major injuries that usually occur after falls, sports injuries, car accidents, and other high-energy activities. The tibia shaft is the central part of the bone, not the flared ends of the bone located just below the knee or above the ankle. The medical name for the tibia shaft is a hollow type, although it does have a to some extent triangular shape with the tibia crest being the prominent ridge at the front of the shin. The bottom of the bone is known as the tibial plafond. While on the other hand, top of the tibia is known as the tibial plateau.
Inside the bone’s hollow center is the bone marrow canal. The outer part of the bone is rigid and thick. This is called the cortex of the bone and offers the strength of the tibia. As mentioned, fractures of this area of the tibia usually are high-energy injuries. There are situations where the bone may be abnormally weakened, and fractures can occur with less significant injuries. These are called pathologic fractures, and occur when the bone is weakened by osteoporosis, infection, tumor, or other conditions.
