Diaphyseal tibiofibular synostosis is a rare cause of symptomatic shin pain with exertion. In this case, a 14-year-old male soccer player presented with atraumatic right shin pain made worse with running. Computed tomography revealed heterotopic ossification, or synostosis, of the tibial-fibular syndesmosis. The patient's symptoms improved with rest, without the need for operative intervention.

Reconstruction of large post-traumatic segmental femoral defects using vascularised bone flaps: a retrospective case series.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Background: Large femoral defects after trauma, femoral non-unions, fractures complicated by osteomyelitis or defects after bone tumour resection present high burden and increased morbidity for patient and are challenging for reconstructive surgeons. Defects larger than 6 cm and smaller defects after failed spongioplasty are suitable for reconstruction using a free, eventually a pedicled vascularised bone flap. The free fibular flap is preferred but an iliac crest free flap or a pedicled medial femoral condyle flap can be also used.

Objective: Although several reconstructive methods have been developed to manage large segmental tibial bone defects including bone transport (distraction osteogenesis), contralateral fibular graft, allograft, tibiofibular synostosis, Masquelet technique, and 3D printed scaffold, neglected large tibial defects in adults remain challenging problems. This study describes gradual transverse transport of naturally tibialized fibula using hexapod frames in management of adult patients with neglected large tibial defects.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four cases of transverse transport of naturally tibialized fibula from November 2018 to February 2022.
Tissue material properties, whole-bone morphology and mechanical behavior in the mouse model of Marfan syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- Marfan syndrome (MFS) is linked to mutations in the FBN1 gene, affecting fibrillin-1, a protein crucial for bone structure and growth factor regulation, leading to skeletal issues like low bone density and long bone overgrowth.
- A study used a mouse model of MFS to analyze various aspects of bone structure and behavior, including curvature, composition, and mechanical properties across different ages of mice.
- Results indicated that while MFS mice exhibited traits consistent with the syndrome, such as long bone overgrowth and reduced trabecular thickness, their overall mechanical and structural properties were similar to control mice, with some differences in bone matrix crystallinity and porosity.
Neglected Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Dislocation Treated With a Cortical Button Suspension Device: A Case Report.

Proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation is a rare knee injury. Hence, its diagnosis is often missed. Herein, we have reported a case of posterior lateral proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation that was initially missed because it was associated with a fibula diaphyseal fracture.

Purpose: The study aims to determine the effect of fibular fixation on alignment and fracture healing of tibia, and ankle functional outcomes in the treatment of distal third tibiofibular diaphyseal fractures.
Methods: Consecutive 111 patients (33 females and 78 males) with distal third tibiofibular diaphyseal fracture who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as those who underwent fibular fixation with tibia intramedullary nailing (study group) and those who did not (control group).
