Implications of a tibia and fibula fracture in the secondary adaptation of the skeleton of an individual discovered in Nădlac “Lutărie” (Arad County)

Summary/Abstract: The present study focuses on the analysis of a fracture on the level of the left tibia and fibula diaphysis of a male individual from the mature adult age category. The skeleton was discovered during the 2004 archaeological campaign in Nãdlac “Lutărie” (Arad County) in an Early Medieval cemetery. Fractures are among the pathological lesions most often encountered in past populations. I have analyzed the implications of this fracture on the individual’s locomotion and implicitly on the modifications that occurred due to this trauma on the level of the significant articulations.
