It is commonly associated with a rolled ankle but can also be due to an awkward landing, a fall, or a direct blow to the outer lower leg or Prevalence of ACS following tibial fractures varies widely due to differing diagnostic techniques and patient samples, although young (<35 years of age) men seem to be at greatest risk. 1-3,9 Most cases of ACS associated with tibial fractures occur in the diaphysis, though cases of ACS has resulted from a Salter Harris II distal tibia fracture
