Repositioning of fracture and luxation: Open repositioning of a simple fracture in the joint area of a long bone: Open repositioning of an epiphyseal separation without osteosynthesis: Proximal fibula
Your calfbone (fibula) was surgically straightened.
There are 2 bones in the lower leg, the tibia and the fibula. The tibia is on the inside of the leg. The fibula is on the outside of the leg. Both bones in the lower leg have an upper, middle and lower section. The top end of the tibia is connected to the femur by the knee joint. The top ends of the tibia and fibula are also connected by a joint just below the knee joint.
A growth plate in your calfbone (fibula) became detached. In children and adolescents the bone’s growth stems from the growth plates. There are growth plates in the long bones in the arms and legs, and the long bones in the hands and feet. There is a growth plate at each end of these bones.
The upper end of your fibula was affected. The parts of your calfbone (fibula) were surgically returned to their normal position and put back together.
