its a broken leg. The tibia is one of the two long bones between the knee and ankle.
only a few bones are unable to be broken due to their physiology, location or size. both the tibia and fibula can be broken
No, the tibia is part of the appendicular skeleton
Yes, a tibia that has been broken in three places can affect the entire leg. The break can cause swelling, muscle weakness, limited range of motion, and difficulty walking. In severe cases, it may require surgery to restore proper alignment of the bone and to prevent long-term complications. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are usually necessary to regain full function of the leg.
The ridge on the tibia head is called the tibial tuberosity. It is a bony prominence on the anterior surface of the tibia where the patellar ligament attaches.
The anterior crest is prominent bone feature on the tibia. It is often called the shin.
I have the answer to that question. The only true way to know if your tibia is broken is by a bone scan. I walked around with a broken tibia for a year and a half without knowing. The Doctors could not see it on the x-ray and because i had a partial knee replacement they could not do a bone scan. The broken tibia was not found until they open me up for my total knee replacement. I hope that helped
Six to eight weeks. Expect to limp for a while after that until the muscles build back up. Your doctor should have explained all this to you when you got your cast.
I chipped my tibia and they said the only way to have it grow back properly is surgery. I have had good results with the surgery
Yes. Apparently he had a hairline fracture in his tibia.
I had the same thing. Mine was in august 28th of 2008. I was walking by November 1st.

the Tibia
The tibia is a large shin bone (as oppossed to the fibula which is it's smaller partner) which starts from the knee and ends at the ankle. A chip most likely means that your bone has been damaged and a small particle has broken off.
The tibia is one of two bones that make up your lower leg (the part of your leg that starts at the knee and ends at the ankle). The other bone is called the Fibula. A tibia xray is a way of looking at the density of those two bones in your lower leg, often with the intention of identifying a fracture, or broken bone.
There's the femur (thigh bone), then there's the tibia and fibula. There are also the tarsal and metatarsals in your ankle and feet, respectively.The Latin medical prefix for the upper leg is "femoral" and the front of the lower leg is "crural." The back of the calf is known as "sural."
The tibia is the larger of the two bones in the lower leg. Fixation refers to any process that holds the pieces of a broken bone in place to facilitate healing. Intramedullary means within the bone canal. So, to sum up, intramedullary fixation of the right tibia means placement of a rod inside the larger bone in the right lower leg to hold the pieces together to facilitate bone healing after a broken leg.
There is not a tibia in the thyroid gland . . . your tibia is your shin bone.
