A tibial fibular osteotomy may be needed to correct deformities or realign the bones in the lower leg, such as in cases of malunion or nonunion fractures, osteoarthritis, or to address limb length discrepancies. This procedure can help improve the function and stability of the lower leg, reducing pain and promoting better mobility for the patient.

Does a medial tibial fracture normally need surgery to repair?

Not necessarily, it very much depends on different factors such as: exact type of fracture, whether there is any displacement of the fracture, the age and functional expectations of the patient etc. If you are talking about a displaced medial tibial plateaux fracture (Shatzker grade 4) in a young active person, then YES it would need to be fixed. An undisplaced fracture in an elderly patient with limited mobility probably would not need fixed surgically but treated in a cast brace.


How do you tell a male from a female tarantula if not all males have tibial hooks?

If the spider does not have tibial hooks on the first pair of legs, then you need to be looking at the ends of the pedipalps. Males will have bolbous pedipalps where as the females with have pointed ends just like the legs. However you generally cant sex a tarantula whilst it is still and juvi/subadult or spiderling, you need to wait until it molts to its near full size.
