Abstract

Plastic bowing is a constant deformation of long bones occurring after a long standing force to bone. This type of fracture is seen in children and is uncommon in the adults. In this paper we report a case of fibular plastic deformity with ipsilateral tibia fracture in a 20 years old man that occurred after a direct hit. At the initial examination vital signs were stable and radiography of tibia and fibula fracture with plastic deformation were clear. In order to treat him we performed fibular close reduction and tibia internal fixation with intramedullary nailing.
