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.

Is the lateral malleolus distal end of the tibia?
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
What is an acute subacute oblique distal fibula fracture?
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.
What is the term for a fracture of the distal end of the radius and ulna?
A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?
stifle
What is the cpt code for anesthesia for ORIF of fracture of the distal tibia and fibula?
01392
Is a distal fibula fracture with callus good or bad?
A bone fracture is never good. A callus on the bone fracture indicates healing has started.
Is the lateral malleolus distal end of the tibia?
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
What do they mean when they say that the distal articulation of the tibia and fibula?
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.
What is bone marking that can be palpated at the distal end of the fibula?
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.
What is an acute subacute oblique distal fibula fracture?
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.
What is the term for a fracture of the distal end of the radius and ulna?
A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.
Can you fracture your fibula without it hurting a lot?
A fibula fracture will hurt.
What joint is at the distal tibia and fibula?
The distal tibia and fibula both articulate with the talus. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
Does the calcaneous articulate with the distal end of the tibia?
The distal tibia articulates with the talus. The proximal tibia articulates with the femur.
What is the name of the distal expansion of the of the fibula?
The distal expansion of the fibula is the lateral malleolus. This structure is familiar as the bump at the outside of your ankle.
What distal ends of the tibia and fibula are called the?
The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are the malleoli (singular malleolus). These are familiar as the bumps at your ankle.
