2. Direct blow
Regardless of your health and choice of shoe, any bone will break if it is dealt a direct blow with a heavy object or force. Direct blows can happen in motor vehicle accidents, being hit with a heavy object or being kicked or abused. Healthy bones don’t break easily. A high energy force is necessary to cause a fracture.
Athletes that play contact sports like soccer, American football or basketball are also at risk of being kicked accidentally with enough force to fracture the fibula.
Head-on car accidents are a major cause of lower leg injuries. If another car collides with yours, the floorboards may be pushed up and in on your lower extremities. It’s a sudden violent motion that is forceful enough to break bones. If you’re a victim of a vehicle collision seek immediate medical care as all systems in your body can be impacted by such a severe trauma.
