Challenging Fractures of upper end tibia and lower end femur with its approaches and stepwise tips and tricks for reduction and fixation if fractures was elucidated with manifold examples. In the late morning, ankle and calcaneum fractures were dwelled upon with experience, expertise and excellence.
