What is the second largest bone in your foot?

The second largest bone in the foot is the talus bone, which sits between the tibia and fibula of the lower leg and the calcaneus bone (heel bone). The talus bone helps to transmit weight from the leg to the foot and plays a crucial role in ankle movement and stability.


Which bones are weight bearing bones?

Weight-bearing bones include the femur (thigh bone), tibia and fibula (lower leg bones), and the bones of the foot such as the talus, calcaneus, and metatarsals. These bones support the body's weight during activities like standing, walking, and running.


What is the only bone that articulates with the tibia and fibula?

The femur articulates with the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia. The femur is the bone commonly known as the thigh bone.


What percent of the body's weight is born by the talus bone during walking?

We have two talus bones in our bodies. If the weight is evenly distributed throughout the body, they each take 1/2 the load, or one half the body weight when standing.


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.

What is the weight-bearing bone of the leg?

The weight-bearing bone of the leg is the tibia, also known as the shinbone. It is located on the inner side of the leg and supports much of the body's weight during standing and walking.

Is the tibia lateral to the fibula?

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.

What are the functions of the tibia?

Along with the basic functions of a bone, the tibia's primary function is locomotion and bearing the weight of the body while standing upright.


What bone helps support the legs?

It depends on which bone you are referring to. The one in the top of the leg is the femur, which extends from the hips to the kneecap. This happens to be the longest and largest bone in the body. From the kneecap to the ankle you have two bones, the outer and smaller one of which is called the fibula. The inner larger bone in the lower leg is the tibia. The tibia is the bone commonly referred to as the shin bone.


Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the talar head?

I think it would be best to just break this down....subchondral..........situated beneath cartilage insufficiency..........inability of an organ or body part to function normally fracture.............the act or process of breaking or the state of being broken and or the breaking of hard tissue (as bone) Fractures of the Talar Head Talus fractures are relatively uncommon injuries, but can be associated with significant complications. The talus is involved in about 2% of all lower extremity injuries and about 5-7% of foot injuries. It is the most important bone of the foot to stabilize and mobilize soon after injury. Talus fractures are usually associated with hyperdorsiflexion of the ankle as the talar neck impacts the anterior margin of the tibia, such as in a motor vehicle accident or fall from height. The talus articulates superiorly with the tibia and fibula in the ankle mortise and the calcaneous and navicular inferiorly. Body weight is transmitted through the tibia to the superior surface of the talus. The anterior portion of the body is wider than the posterior portion giving stability to the ankle. The neck of the talus connects to the head which connects to the navicular and calcaneous and is the most vulnerable to fracture. The talus has no muscular or tendinous attachments, but has a groove for the flexor hallicus longus tendon. The majority of the talus is covered by articular cartilage. It articulates with the spring ligament inferiorly, the sustentaculum tali posteroinferiorly and the deltoid ligament medially.


How many bones in the tibia?

The tibia is its own bone. The tibia(s) (one in each lower leg) takes the weight of your body. Running directly beside the tibia on the outside or lateral side of the tibia is the fibula which is a different bone(s) which makes up the lower legs
