tibia/fibular shaft fracture or tibial and fibular shaft fracture - nitpicking my work


Posted: Jun 10, 2011

paranoid about nitpicking my work... I find it both ways when I search

 

Both are correct. - sweetgirlsmom

I would be consistent with tibia/fibula or tibial/fibular, rather than tibia/fibular. Tibial and fibular is also correct. You should type it whichever way it is dictated.

I type what they say (verbatim), if they say slash they get slash. - but, yep, both are correct.

What is the final say on how to use these words?? Is is tibia fracture or tibial fracture?  fibula fracture or fibular fracture? What if there is another word in front, does it become "proximal tibia fracture" or still 'proximal tibial fracture"?
