Hecht Scott syndrome effects the tibia and fibula. [1] Common physical symptoms show a short leg, the ankle and foot being short and deformed, absence of rays and bowing of the tibia . [ 4 ] Another physical symptom is the presence of contralateral oligosyndactyly of the hand. [ 1 ]
The entrapment of an intact fibula behind the tibia was described by Ashhurst and Bromer in 1922, who attributed the description of the mechanism of injury to Huguier's 1848 publication. [3] The injury involving fibular fracture with posterior dislocation was described by David M. Bosworth in 1947.
A tib-fib fracture is a fracture of both the tibia and fibula of the same leg in the same incident. In 78% of cases, a fracture of the fibula is associated with a tibial fracture. [6] Since the fibula is smaller and weaker than the tibia, a force strong enough to fracture the tibia often fractures the fibula as well. Types include:

The ankle joint is a highly constrained, complex hinge joint composed of three bones: the tibia, the fibula, and the talus. [6] [7] The weight-bearing aspect of the tibia closest to the foot (known as the plafond) connects with the talus.
Dysplastic appearance to the fibula. Pseudarthrosis can be located on either of the two bones of the tibial segment. The prognosis is good if the lesion is located only on the fibula, extension to the tibia has a prognosis similar to type II VI Associated with an intraosseous fibroma or a schwannoma. The prognosis depends on the aggressiveness ...
Fracture of the fibula at the level of the syndesmosis. Typical features: at the level of the ankle joint, extending superiorly and laterally up the fibula; tibiofibular syndesmosis intact or only partially torn, but no widening of the distal tibiofibular articulation; medial malleolus may be fractured or deltoid ligament may be torn; variable ...
A fractured fibula in addition to detaching the medial malleolus will tear the tibiofibular syndesmosis. [2] The combined fracture of the medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, and the posterior margin of the distal end of the tibia is known as a "trimalleolar fracture". [3] An example of Pott's fracture would be in a sports tackling injury.
