Broken Tibia and Fibula Leg Bones From Los Angeles AccidentsBroken leg bones are common in many Los Angeles accidents.

Other injuries which may result include having their bones fused together - which prevents the knee from bending. Additionally, open wounds or cuts on the leg which caused the broken tibia or fibula may also result in the leg becoming infected which may result in gangrene or some other infection.
