Question
Chapter 7, Problem 4RC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for the involvement of the tibia instead of the fibula for weight transfer to the ankle and foot.
Introduction:
Lower limbs consist of the patella, femur, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones, phalanges, and metatarsals. The tibia is one of the largest bones in the human body. The tibia is located near the fibula and forms a fibrous joint. The fibula is a thin bone and smaller than the tibia. It consists of structures such as the lateral malleolus and the interosseous membrane.
