Stress Fractures
Studies show that repetitive stress or overuse of the tibia can result in fractures. People who engage in long-distance running are more likely to develop stress fractures, small cracks in the bone that can cause more severe fractures if it is not addressed.
Workplace Accidents
Occupations that involve construction work or heavy machinery increase the risks of tibial fractures. Accidents at the workplace, like falls or crush injuries can cause severe tibial fractures.
