The tibia is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates and connects the knee with the ankle bones while fibula is a leg bone located on the lateral side of the tibia, with which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones, and, in proportion to its length, the most slender of all the long bones.
