This study was conducted on 50 patients with fracture of tibia from 15 October, 2023 to 22 February 2024 at Al-Hussein teaching hospital, Al-Muthanna, Iraq 56% male and 44 % female. All patients sent for imaging such as plain x- ray CT or MRI. We study the age, sex, the cause, severity, type, site, shape of fracture, and the fracture displacement. The aim of this study is to know the associated factors with fracture of tibia, the methods of treatment and outcome of treatment.
