Fracture of the Leg.The leg contains two bones ; the larger is situated on the inner side, and forms the prominent edge which we call the "shin." This bone is called the tibia, and constitutes the more important part of the support of the body. It constitutes the greater part of the ankle-joint, the other bone of the leg forming only a small projection at the joint ; the tibia is the only one of the two bones which enters into the formation of the knee-joint. The other bone of the leg, called the fibula, is a slender bone lying on the outer side of the limb ; it is covered with flesh except at its lower end, where it constitutes the bony prominence on the outer side of the ankle. Either of these bones may be broken while the other remains uninjured, or both are fractured at the same time.
