Fibula Anatomy: Location, Attachments & Key Relationships
Location: Lateral bone of the leg (calf), parallel to the tibia.
Key Attachments
- Proximal: Lateral knee joint via lateral collateral ligament, biceps femoris tendon, popliteus tendon, and head of fibula.
- Lateral: Fascia of the leg and peroneus (fibularis) longus muscle.
- Anterior: Tibialis anterior muscle.
- Distal: Forms the lateral malleolus, the bony prominence on the outer ankle.
The fibula is a non-weight-bearing bone but provides lateral stability and muscle attachment.
