A member asked:
How can they fix a broken shin bone (tibia)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cast or surgery: A fractured tibia can be treated with a cast or with surgery depending on the location of the fracture and the nature of the injury. Surgical treatment lines up the fractured bond ends and holds them in position until the bone is healed.
