tibial fracture

A tibial fracture is a break in the shinbone, which is the large bone located in the lower leg between the knee and ankle. It often results from trauma such as falls, sports injuries, or car accidents. Symptoms may include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the leg. Treatment depends on the fracture's severity and may involve immobilization with a cast or, in more severe cases, surgery to realign the bone. Healing typically takes several months, during which proper care and follow-up are essential for proper recovery.
