The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The tibia has the medial malleolus, and the fibula has the lateral malleolus.
Yes. The proximal portion of the fibula is at the knee, and the distal portion is at the ankle.
The most distal part of the fibula is the lateral malleolus. This structure is the familiar bump at the outside of your ankle.
The prominent distal process on the fibula is the lateral malleolus. This structure is the familiar bump on the outside of your ankle.
The distal end of the fibula is at the point of the ankle. This bump is called the lateral malleolus.
A fracture of the distal end of the fibula is a broken bone in the smaller bone of the lower leg. "Distal" means the break is closer to the ankle. than to the knee.

No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
An oblique distal fibula fracture is a break in the smaller bone of the lower leg. The break is located closer to the ankle than to the knee, and the break has a diagonal orientation. The use of both "acute" and "subacute" doesn't make sense.
A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.

A bone fracture is never good. A callus on the bone fracture indicates healing has started.
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula means the place where the tibia and fibula form a joint at the end of the bones farthest from the origin of the limb. The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula is with the talus.
The lateral malleolus is the bone marking that can be palpated at the distal end of the fibula. This structure is the bump at the outside of your ankle.
An oblique distal fibula fracture is a break in the smaller bone of the lower leg. The break is located closer to the ankle than to the knee, and the break has a diagonal orientation. The use of both "acute" and "subacute" doesn't make sense.
A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.
A fibula fracture will hurt.
The distal tibia and fibula both articulate with the talus. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
The distal tibia articulates with the talus. The proximal tibia articulates with the femur.
The distal expansion of the fibula is the lateral malleolus. This structure is familiar as the bump at the outside of your ankle.
The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are the malleoli (singular malleolus). These are familiar as the bumps at your ankle.
