Fracture

Lower leg fracture

Specialized in the treatment of foot, ankle and leg pathologies, Centre ASSAL also has specific expertise in treating all forms of lesions of the lower leg bones – tibia and fibula – especially fractures. No matter the fracture’s severity – open, displaced, comminuted – Centre Assal surgeons have extensive experience with treating these types of injuries, including Maisonneuve fractures where the fibula is broken in addition to the medial malleolus and potential ankle ligament tears. PD Dr Assal has published several reference articles about these subtle and hard-to-detect fractures.
