The fibula is the thinner bone lateral to the tibia. The fibula is the smaller bone of the lower leg.
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 bone thst articulates with the tibia and fibula is the Talus bone.
Tibia is the medial bone of the lower extremity
No, the Tibia is part of the knee, located next to the Fibula.
tibia has three borders and three surfaces.Borders: anterior border,lateral border,medial border.Surfaces:1)posterior surface(between medial and lateral border)2)lateral surface(between anterior and lateral border)3)medial surface(between anterior and medial border)
An injury to the lateral side of your ankle typically involves the fibula rather than the tibia. The fibula is the smaller bone of the lower leg and is located on the lateral side, while the tibia is the larger bone and is located on the medial side.
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
Because you wouldn't want fat arms? Your thigh needs to be thick to be strong, if you did not have a thick bone and a thin one, most of the skin surrounding it will flop.
The femur articulates with the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia. The femur is the bone commonly known as the thigh bone.
The think lateral leg bone is the fibula. It is a non-weight bearing bone, but forms the lateral portion of your ankle joint.
The bone on the lateral side of the ankle is called the fibula. It is one of the two long bones in the lower leg, the other being the tibia. The fibula is thinner and runs parallel to the tibia, providing stability to the ankle joint. Its lower end forms the lateral malleolus, which is the bony prominence on the outside of the ankle.
