What is the name of the joint at the distal end of the lower leg bones?The expanded distal end of the fibula is the lateral malleolus. The posterior foot is formed by the seven tarsal bones. The talus articulates superiorly with the distal tibia, the medial malleolus of the tibia, and the lateral malleolus of the fibula to form the ankle joint.
Which bone of the lower limb is not a weightIdentify the non-weight bearing bone of the lower limb. The fibula articulates with the tibia on its medial surface. It does not help distribute the weight of the body to the foot.
Where is the distal end of the fibula?The distal end of the fibula forms the lateral malleolus of the lower limb. This is a bony projection noted on the lateral surface of the ankle, which is complementary to another bony projection on the medial aspect of the ankle called the medial malleolus (formed by the tibia).
