The fibula is one of the two long bones in the lower leg, located alongside the tibia (shinbone). It is the thinner and smaller of the two, playing a key role in providing stability to the ankle and supporting the muscles of the leg. The term "fibula" is derived from the Latin word for "clasp" or "brooch," reflecting its function in connecting and stabilizing the skeletal structure of the leg.
