The navicular is a weight bearing tarsal bone of the foot. The fibula is a non-weight bearing bone of the lateral lower leg.
4 seconds with a google search yields:
An overload or overuse type phenomenon occurs with inflammation and, ultimately, fatigue failure with stress fracture. This is a precursor condition to stress fracture. A period of rest is mandatory for tissues to quiet down or worsening injury will result.
tyler hansbrough was diagnosed with a stress reaction prior to the start of this season. he missed about 3 weeks.

Spurs’ Ginobili sidelined 2-3 weeks

San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili will be out two to three weeks with an injury to his right shin.
Ginobili had played with some pain in the ankle prior to the All-Star break, and tests revealed he has a stress reaction of his distal right fibula, a few inches above his ankle. Ginobili had surgery on his left ankle in August and missed the first month of the season.
Ginobili did not accompany the team on its current trip East. The Spurs did not release specific information about Ginobili’s injury until after the trade deadline to avoid being leveraged during their talks Ginobili could miss about 10 games if he’s sidelined for the full three weeks.
Wrong. It is the lateral lower leg. The shin is the tibia.
The Spurs just got done losing to the Knicks without Manu and the Raptors before that with him...I think Duncan and Parker holding is definitely in question.
Probably pretty common for something like this to happen after surgery to his other leg due to overcompensation.
it's time to toss hairston some quality minutes consistently and see if he can hang with the big boys...
Smaller of the two bones in the lower leg. The Fibula is the lateral bone. Both run from the heel to the knee
Yeah you're right. My bad. got confused
I think it was a not so subtle dig at the guys across the street.
Hey, Peter, Chris Duel is calling you out.
Fibula is the skinny bone on the outside of your calf. The "distal end" would be the part that forms the bony outside protuberance of your ankle, so it is kind of his ankle, but not inside it... if that makes sense.
Looks like Manu's career is like mine now.
this is all a little much...the presser, then not knowing if there will be a presser, the we find out a statement will be released but no one knows when, then it drops and we still don't know what's happening...a stress reaction?
The test results are in on Manu Ginobili, and the news is not as dire as it could have been.
He has a stress reaction in his right fibula, diagnosed today after a series of tests including X-rays, and MRI and a CAT scan, and is expected to miss two to three weeks.
Ginobili has been battling soreness in his ankle since a Feb. 2 game at Golden State. The team's medical staff believes rest to be the best cure at this point.
A stress reaction is a weakening of the bone, which usually regenerates itself in time. If not properly cared for, a stress reaction can become a fracture.
At any rate, it should be a tough two-to-three weeks for the Spurs. They are 6-8 this season in games played without Ginobili.
Based on the original 2-3 week assumption that gives him 5-6 weeks to play and get his groove back, IMO 5-6 weeks is more than enough time. Now if it takes considerably longer, as that medical article just posted suggests than he likely won't be 100% till after the playoffs (unless we go deep)
Sounds like shin splints. I don't think we have anything to worry about. That's just my opinion. I am sure Manu will post something on his blog or website saying he's fine and just needs to rest to be cautious.
drink milk mother er!
I don't know what I'm more concerned about;
1. The Spurs penchant for hanging their season on the health of the least durable guard in the NBA next to Gilbert Arenas.
or...
2. The Spurs inability to acquire a big man to assist Duncan against the Lakers. If Andrew Bynum can't play come May, the Spurs are very likely one serviceable big man away from winning their fifth le but the FO couldn't get anything done.
Either way, I'm not impressed.
With or without Bynum, the Lakers aren't pushed more than 6 games by this team. I also find it interesting that Gregg Popovich was quoted during the recent Boston game that "the team as currently constructed cannot win a seven game series over LA, Boston or Cleveland". Yet we do absolutely nothing to rectify the glaring hole in the middle.
Even if we miraculously hold Kobe to 40% shooting, the likes of Gasol, Odum, Ariza (and Bynum) will eat us up on the boards.
Spurs get at best a D- in my book for doing squat to acquire the only missing piece standing in their way to a le. Quite frustrating.
The good news is it appears as if Manu and the Spurs dogged a bullet and rest should be able to fix it. The bad news is that this could very well be something that lingers, especially considering it's his "good" ankle.
Overall, I'm pretty damn happy about the outcome. With as pessimistic as people around the Spurs were the last few days, the extra testing must have shown it wasn't as bad as first feared.
It's not the shin. The distal end of the fibula is the ankle bone.
It's called karma es!!
Manu is out!! stop all the ing and move on! It's wasn't like you was going to get past the LAKERS!
