What is a fracture of the distal end of the fibula?
A fracture of the distal end of the fibula, known as a lateral malleolus fracture, typically occurs at the ankle joint. It is commonly caused by twisting or direct impact to the ankle. Treatment may involve immobilization with a cast or surgery, depending on the severity of the fracture.
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
Is the lateral malleolus distal end of the tibia?
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form the knee joint, also known as the stifle joint in animals.
Which bone has the head located on the distal end?
The ulna has the head at the distal end. Usually the head of a bone is located at the proximal end. The ulna has a large process called the olecranon process that people call their 'elbow'.

What is the cpt code for anesthesia for ORIF of fracture of the distal tibia and fibula?
01392
Is a distal fibula fracture with callus good or bad?
A bone fracture is never good. A callus on the bone fracture indicates healing has started.
What do they mean when they say that the distal articulation of the tibia and fibula?
The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula means the place where the tibia and fibula form a joint at the end of the bones farthest from the origin of the limb. The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula is with the talus.
Can you fracture your fibula without it hurting a lot?
A fibula fracture will hurt.
What joint is at the distal tibia and fibula?
The distal tibia and fibula both articulate with the talus. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
What is the name of the distal expansion of the of the fibula?
The distal expansion of the fibula is the lateral malleolus. This structure is familiar as the bump at the outside of your ankle.
What distal ends of the tibia and fibula are called the?
The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are the malleoli (singular malleolus). These are familiar as the bumps at your ankle.
What kind of joint is found between the distal tibia and fibula?
The joint between the distal tibia and fibula is a syndesmosis. It does not allow for much movement.
Is the lateral malleolus distal end of the tibia?
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
What is bone marking that can be palpated at the distal end of the fibula?
The lateral malleolus is the bone marking that can be palpated at the distal end of the fibula. This structure is the bump at the outside of your ankle.
