It maycease after separating the tibiofibular articulation, and in this case too the fibulaescapes. It may be continued until the fibula breaks. In this fracture theastragalus passes outward, somewhat backward and also upward, the laterdeviation being due to separation of the tibiofibular articulation. The chieftrouble in reduction and treatment is this outward and backward dislocation ofthe foot. Symptoms.—The foot is displaced outward, and a little backward andupward, and the inner malleolus or the tibia from which it was torn is ex-^ A Practical Treatise on Fractures and Dislocations, by Lewis A.
