Tibia is the medial bone of the lower extremity
The long narrow bone in the lower part of your leg is called the fibula.
The bone found in the lower leg is called the fibula. It is one of the two bones in the lower leg, along with the tibia. The fibula is smaller and thinner than the tibia and mainly assists with providing stability and support to the lower leg.
The tibia bone, also known as the shinbone, is located in the lower leg. It is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the lower leg that connects the knee to the ankle.
The tibia is medial to the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the lower leg bones.
The Tibular Bone Is A Bone in your Knee!
The think lateral leg bone is the fibula. It is a non-weight bearing bone, but forms the lateral portion of your ankle joint.
Tibia
The upper leg bone is the femur, and the largest lower leg bone is the tibia. The term meaning pertaining to these two bones is femerotibial.
