What are the three main bones in the human leg?
The bones found within a human leg include the and the calcaneus, the femur, the fibula, the metatarsals, the patella, phalanges, talus, tarsals, and the tibia.
Would An injury to the lateral side of your ankle would involve the tibia?
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.
What are limb bones?
The bones in the arms and legs. These would be the radius and ulna in the distal part of the arm. That is the part connected to the hand. In the proximal part of the arm, it would be the humerus. That is the bone connected to the shoulder. In the legs, the limb bones are the femur, the tibia and the fibula. The femur is the large bone that articulates with the hip. The tibia and fibula are in the distal leg, near the foot. The patella is the knee cap found between the femur and the tibia and fibula. Many would not consider it a limb bone, but it is found in the limbs so many would. There are also many bones in your writs, hands and feet.

The fibula gets its name from the latin for brooch for the way it connects to the tibia Where would you find it?
Lower legalso called the calf bone
Where the foot joins the leg?
That would be the Tibia, the thinner one next to it is the Fibula. The Femur bone is the upper part on the thigh.
How long does it take for fracture on the lower one third of fibula bone to heal?
The "fibia" is not a bone. There are 2 bones that make up the lower leg, the tibia and fibula. The fibula is not a weight bearing bone and doctors usually dont do anything about it. The fibula is weight bearing, and depending on age, it usually heals in about 6 weeks. But that doesnt mean that it doesnt still hurt. If the patient is geriatric age, their bones take longer to heal.
How much force to break a tibia?
I've broken my fibula before, and it didn't take much. i was playing soccer and collided with another player. Her shin bone hit the side of my leg (fibula) with considerable force. I never would have thought getting hit like that could break a bone, but it did.
What does the fibula have to do with ankle injury?
it recieves the weight from the whole body along with the tibia...and reduces the weight on the ankles and feet..so it has alot to do with the ankle..if the ankle is injured then the ankle would have trouble with this weight hence creating pain
Can you feel your tibia?
The tibia bone is located in the lower leg and is covered by muscle and skin, so you would not typically be able to feel it by touch alone. However, if you experience direct trauma or injury to the tibia, you may feel pain or tenderness in that area. If you have concerns about your tibia, it is best to consult a healthcare professional for an evaluation.
If the tarsal joint can not be extended due to nerve paralysis the damaged nerve would be the?
The Tibial Nerve. It supplies the muscles caudal to the tibia and fibula which include extensors of the tarsus and flexors of the digits.
What is a partner to the shinbone?
without a thigh bone you wouldnt be able to walk, imagine; if you took out your thigh bone, 1) you would be a lot shorter 2)the upper part of the leg would be like flabby jelly and 3) it allows are legs to move etc. it also take some of the human weight, if your thigh bone wasnt there, you would collapse on the floor, and you would have to crawl using your hands
