Why is the tibia involved in the transfer of weight to the ankle and foot but not the fibula?
As the tibia approaches the ankle joint, the tibia broadens, and the medial border ends in the medial malleolus. The inferior surface of the tibia articulates with the proximal bone of the ankle; the medial malleolus provides medial support for this joint. whereas the lateral malleolus of the fibula only provides lateral stability to the ankle but does not help transfer weight to the ankle and foot.
