The Fibula

The page starts with a lateral view of a right fibula. The proximal end is to your left and the distal end to your right.

Rotate the model. Try to find all the landmarks listed below. The colored plus buttons will show you labeled fibulas from the lateral and medial views. Pay close attention to the shape of the proximal head and the distal lateral malleolus.

  • Head -- Square part of the proximal end.
  • Interosseous Border -- Ridge running length of dipahysis.
  • Lateral Malleolus -- Flat part on distal end.
