Introduction: An osteology specimen of post traumatic proximal tibiofibular synostosis is discussed along with photographs of the specimen and its Xray and computed tomography scan. Case Report: An osteology specimen of tibia and fibula united in their proximal shafts was studied. The bony bridge between the leg bones was associated with a callus in the tibia. Computed tomography scan showed full grown cortex and marrow cavity inside the synostosis. The inferior tibiofibular joint was disrupted. Conclusion: An osteology specimen of post traumatic proximal tibiofibular synostosis is discussed. Similar occurance in life can lead to peroneal neuropathy and persistent ankle pain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
