How do you distinguish between ulnar-radius and fibula-tibia?
A person can distinguish between the ulnar-radius and the fibula-tibia by looking their placement within the body. The ulnar-radius is found in the forearm, while the fibula-tibia is found in the shin.
Why tibia is homologous with radius of forearm?
Ulna is medial to radius in the forearm and tibia is medial to fibula in the shank. However it is tibia which is homologous to radius (not fibula), because the form of those two bones are the same.

How are the tibia and fibula connected?
The Tibia and fibula are the only bones connecting knee and ankle. The tibia is the main weight bearing bone. The Fibula provides the top attachments for the muscles which raise the foot pivoting at the ankle. Also muscles for raising and straightening the toes. The Tibia also has the top attachments for the main muscles of the calf which enable one to walk tip-toe with the foot pivoted down at the ankle. Again 'Weight-bearing'. With a smashed Fibula you could still walk if willing. Probably not with a smashed Tibia. Tibia also is a blood cell factory inside the marrow.
