Abstract
One of the very rare fractures is the fracture of the head of the fibulae. The two-sided fracture in the literature available to the author has not yet been described. The origin of the fracture of the head of the fibulae, on the one hand, may be the result of a strong contraction of the w. bicipitis (with a significant extension of the lower leg and tension of the lateral ligament of the knee joint), and with the other, it can be directly dependent on external violence.
