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.
The tibia and fibula are bones in the lower leg connected between the femur and ankle. the tibia is behind the leg and the fibula is inbetween the knee and the ankle
they are connected by soft,spongey material called cartiliage
The tibia is the weight bearing bone in the lower leg, the fibula sits next to the tibia in the lower leg and is non-weight bearing.
The tibia and fibula are the two bones in the lower leg they are connected to the foot and at the knee joint
The tibia and fibula are bones that are both located in the lower leg that run side by side from the knee to the ankle. Of the two, the tibia is both the largest and the strongest.
In the leg. The femur is the upper leg bone, the patella is the knee cap and the tibia and fibula make up the lower leg
The tibia and fibula are both located in the lower leg(between the knee and the ankle) or "lower lower limb" in the human skeleton.
The tibia is connected to the fibula. They are both located on the leg below the knee.
The fibula is lateral to the tibia.
The tibia is medial to the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the lower leg bones.
The two bones that makeup the lower leg are the Tibia and Fibula. The Fibula is the smallest bone of the two. It is located poterior (behind) the Tibia.

The tibia is connected to the fibula. They are both located on the leg below the knee.
The fibula is lateral to the tibia.
Fibula or Tibia?
The fibula is located lateral to the tibia. In overall anatomical position, the tibia is medial in the body, and the tibia lateral. Both are located in the lower leg. The tibia articulates with the patella proximally, the fibula laterally, and the talus distally.
The fibula is lateral to the tibia. The fibula is the smaller of the two lower leg bones.
The tibia is medial to the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the lower leg bones.
The two bones that makeup the lower leg are the Tibia and Fibula. The Fibula is the smallest bone of the two. It is located poterior (behind) the Tibia.
The medial malleolus is located on the tibia. The fibula forms the lateral malleolus.
The fibula is lateral to the tibia. The fibula is the smaller of the two lower leg bones.
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.

They are the femur, the tibia, and the fibula. Have fun learning about your bones.
