Abstract
The prevalence of foot and ankle injuries associated with tibial and fibular shaft fractures is estimated to be 25%. A myriad of injury mechanisms and surrounding soft tissue damage related to this type of fracture can lead to distal complications and sequelae in the foot and ankle. Early recognition of concomitant acute injuries and adequate management of delayed complications can optimize the functional outcomes and quality of life in most patients..
