Description: This stock medical exhibit depicts right lower leg fractures with surgical fixation. The first images are an actual anterior x-ray of the right lower leg and an artist's interpretation of that x-ray, showing the fractures of the proximal tibia and fibula. Next, two images describe the surgical repair, including the incision and fixation using a plate and multiple screws. The final two images are an actual anterior x-ray of the right knee area and an artist's interpretation of that x-ray, showing the fixation hardware in place.
