An infarct is an area of tissue death due to loss of blood supply. A distal tibia bone infarct due to trauma, then, means tissue death at the part of the larger lower leg bone closest to the ankle. The cause of the tissue death was trauma.

What is sclerosis of the distal tibia?
Sclerosis is abnormal hardening of the bone. The distal tibia is the part of the larger lower leg bone closest to the ankle.
Which bone articulates with the distal tibia and fibula?
The bone thst articulates with the tibia and fibula is the Talus bone.
The tarsal bone that the distal end of the tibia articulates with is the calcaneus?
Tallus
Is the patella distal to the tibia?
The more commonly known kneecap sits on the top (anterior) side of our tibia (shinbone), the largest and weight-bearing bone of the lower leg.
Is the hock of a cat located at the proximal end of the tibia and the distal end of the femur?
The hock of the cat is located between the tibia, or shin, and the talus bone, which is a bone of the paw. The cat's hock joint is comparable to a human ankle joint.
Which bones articulate with the proximal end of the tibia?
Those bones are the tarsals, which make the ankle.The distal ends of the tibia and fibula articulate with a single tarsal bone called the talus.footfoottarsal bones
What joint is the ankle?
Ankle is a synovial type of joint. You have the lower end of tibia bone, medially and lower end of fibula bone, laterally and talus bone on other side of the joint.
Is the fibula a medial bone?
The medial malleolus is located on the tibia. The fibula forms the lateral malleolus.
On what bone would you find the medial malleolus?
The medial malleolus is the rounded process of the tibia forming the internal surface of the ankle joint. It si sometime called the internal malleolus.
Which bone is found anterior to the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia?
The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.
What is a bone infarct?
Bone infarct refers to ischemic death of the cellular elements of the bone and marrow.
What portion of the lower extremity is found distal to the knee and proximal to the ankle?
The portion of the lower extremity found distal to the knee and proximal to the ankle is the shin or the lower leg. It consists of the tibia bone at the front and the fibula bone at the back.
