Tibio-fibular synostosis is a rare condition in which the tibia and fibula, two bones in the lower leg, become fused together. This fusion can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. It is usually caused by an injury or trauma to the lower leg, but can also be caused by a genetic disorder. Treatment typically involves surgery to separate the bones and restore normal movement.

The main symptom of tibio-fibular synostosis is a limited range of motion in the ankle joint. Other symptoms may include pain, swelling, and Stiffness in the ankle joint, as well as a feeling of instability when walking or standing. In some cases, the affected ankle may appear to be shorter than the other ankle.

Tibio-fibular synostosis is a rare condition in which the tibia and fibula bones of the lower leg fuse together. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Possible causes include trauma, infection, and abnormal bone development.

The primary treatment for tibio-fibular synostosis is surgical intervention. The goal of the surgery is to separate the fused bones and restore normal joint movement. Depending on the severity of the condition, the surgery may involve cutting the bones apart, realigning them, and stabilizing them with screws, plates, or rods. In some cases, a bone graft may be necessary to fill in any gaps between the bones. Physical therapy may also be recommended after surgery to help restore strength and range of motion.

1. Previous trauma to the lower leg
2. Previous surgery to the lower leg
3. Genetic predisposition
4. Congenital abnormalities
5. Infection
6. Inflammatory conditions
7. Overuse of the lower leg muscles
8. Poor nutrition
9. Poor blood circulation
10. Poor healing of the lower leg bones

At this time, there is no known cure for tibio-fibular synostosis. Treatment typically involves surgery to separate the fused bones, followed by physical therapy to help restore range of motion and strength. Medications may be prescribed to help manage pain and inflammation.
