Proximal Tibiofibular Synostosis and its Clinical Significance: A Case Report
Keywords:
Proximal, Tibiofibular, Synostosis
Abstract
Proximal tibiofibular synostosis is rare and is either congenital or associated with trauma. Very few cases have been reported in the literature. During routine examination of various dried and processed bones in the Department of Anatomy, it was found that the upper end of tibia and fibula were fused by an abnormal piece of bone. The length of tibia and fibula and the length and thickness of ossified part of bone measured. The position of proximal tibiofibular joint, interosseous distance and curvature of tibia and fibula studied. The present case is useful for anatomists, radiologist and Orthopaedic surgeons who are dealing with this region.
