Established in 1994. Wachusett Brewery founders Ned, Kevin and Quinny developed a significant appreciation for beer while attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Adventures in biking, canoeing, and hiking that led the trio to the northern New England states allowed them to visit some of the first operating craft breweries.
A tibia/fibula (tib/fib) fracture is a common fracture of the ankle bones. The tibia (shin bone) and fibula (bone on the outside part of your ankle) are located in the lower leg and help form part of your ankle joint. Occasionally, just one of the bones, either the tibia or fibula, is broken. If you have suffered a tib/fib fracture, you may require surgery.
The fibula is often broken as well. Common types of tibial fractures include: 1  Stable fracture: This type of fracture is barely out of place. 2  The broken ends of the bones basically line up correctly and are aligned. 3  In a stable fracture, the bones usually stay in place during healing. Open fracture: When broken bones break through the skin, they are called open or compound fractures. 2  For example, when a pedestrian is struck by the bumper of a moving car, the broken tibia may protrude through a tear in the skin and other soft tissues.
