Have you heard of any fibula non union case if you are doing tibias?
My doctor just dun check on the fibula and only focus on the tibias union
Is this normal?

That's another risk of doing internal tibia.

Even if that happens, the fibula is not really needed. As a matter of fact bone graft from the fibula is frequently taken for surgery in other areas.
