Thus, it is usually the responsibility of the executive branch to efficiently implement and enforce the laws passed by the legislative branch. The executive branch is ultimately accountable to the legislative and judicial branches for its actions and policies.
A bimalleolar fracture most commonly means that the lateral malleolus and the medial malleolus are broken and the ankle is not stable. Usually surgery is indicated to help stabilize the lower extremity.
A fracture is a partial or complete break in a bone. In the ankle, fractures involve the far or distal ends of the tibia, the. fibula, or both bones. The tibia is the shinbone and is located on the inner, or medial, side of the leg. The fibula is located on the outer, or lateral, side of the leg. The distal ends of the tibia and fibula bones are also known as the medial and lateral malleoli, respectively. Some distal tibia fractures can involve the rear or posterior part of the bone, which are also known as posterior malleolar fractures. Ankle fractures can range from the less serious avulsion injuries (small pieces of bone that have been pulled off) to severe, shattering-type breaks.
