Ⅰ. 서론

Fractures of the lower end of the tibia and fibula are common injuries that often occur due to high-energy trauma, such as sports injuries, falls, or vehicular accidents. These types of fractures can significantly impact the patient`s ability to perform daily activities, as they play a crucial role in weight-bearing and locomotion. The tibia, or shinbone, is the larger of the two bones in the lower leg, and it bears most of the body`s weight. The fibula is a slender bone located alongside the tibia and provides structural support and stability to the ankle and lower leg. When both of these bones are fractured together, the injury is often categorized as a `bimalleolar fracture` or `trimalleolar fracture` depending on the involvement of other bony structures in the ankle region. Understanding the pathophysiology of tibial and fibular fractures is essential for providing appropriate care. The mechanism of injury often involves a combination of direct impact and torsional forc…(생략)
