Physical Exam: There is an abrasion over the left anterior tibia. Left foot has normal dorsalis pedis and tibialis posterior pulses. The sensation is intact. *Capillary refill is less than 2 seconds.* Am I hearing this correctly?

Then he says: X-rays of the left femur and left *tib fib* are negative. Is it OK to say tib fib?

Thanks.
