  • Title: Growth and development of the tibia, fibula, and ankle joint.
    Author: Beals RK, Skyhar M.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1984; (182):289-92. PubMed ID: 6692621.
    Abstract:
    Deformities of the leg and ankle may result from growth abnormalities of the tibia and fibula. Measurements of the distance between the proximal tibial and fibular physes, the distal tibial and fibular physes, and the angle between the long axis of the tibia and the distal tibial physis and talar dome were made to determine the changes that occur during normal skeletal development. These measurements demonstrate that early detection of growth discrepancy is possible.
