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 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 leg is made up of the tibia and the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the two bones and is commonly known as the shinbone, while the fibula is located next to the tibia on the outer side of the leg.
there are actually two bones that make up the leg below the knee. The tibula is in the front, commonly referred to as the shin, and the fibula is in the rear.
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 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.
the tibia and the fibula
They are the femur, the tibia, and the fibula. Have fun learning about your bones.
The tibia is medial to the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the lower leg bones, and the tibia is the smaller.
