A Pott fracture can also involve, although rarely, injury to the larger bone of the lower leg, the shinbone, or tibia.A variety of fractures around the ankle, accompanied by a varying degree of dislocation of the ankle. In all cases the fibula is fractured. Named after Percivall Pott, who suffered: from this fracture and was the first to describe it, it is often mistaken for a simple sprain of the ankle.An ankle injury characterized by both a fracture and dislocation, brought about by extreme or forceful twisting. The fibula, which is the outer bone of the lower leg, fractures just above the ankle. Additionally, there might be a fracture of the tibia (shin) or tearing of the ligaments, leading to dislocation.A fracture of the fibula bone in the leg, typically happening approximately three inches above the ankle and occasionally accompanied by a split in the lower end of the tibia.
