A fibular fracture, also known as a fracture of the fibula, is a type of bone injury that involves a break or crack in the fibula bone. The fibula is one of the two long bones in the lower leg, located on the outside of the leg, running parallel to the larger tibia bone.

Fibular fractures can occur in different parts of the bone, including the shaft (midsection) or the distal end (near the ankle). These fractures can result from various causes, such as trauma from a direct blow or impact to the leg, twisting forces, falls, or sports injuries.
Symptoms of a fibular fracture may include pain, swelling, tenderness, bruising, and difficulty or inability to bear weight on the affected leg. Depending on the severity of the fracture, the bone may be partially or completely broken.
Treatment for fibular fractures depends on the specific type and location of the fracture, as well as the individual's overall health. In some cases, conservative methods like immobilization with a cast, splint, or brace may be sufficient for healing. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to realign and stabilize the bone using screws, plates, or rods.
It's important to note that fibular fractures often occur in conjunction with other injuries, such as tibial fractures or ankle sprains, as the fibula provides structural support to the leg. Therefore, it's crucial to seek medical attention for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
