	eMedicine - Fractures, Tibia and Fibula : Article Excerpt by: Jeffrey G Norvell, MD
		Fractures of the tibia generally are associated with fibula fracture, because the force is transmitted along the interosseous membrane to the fibula.
		The tibia and fibula articulate at the proximal tibia-fibular syndesmosis.
		Isolated midshaft or proximal fibula fractures are uncommon.

	III. Syndesmology. 7c. Articulations between the Tibia and Fibula. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The articulations between the tibia and fibula are effected by ligaments which connect the extremities and bodies of the bones.
		347) consists of two or three broad and flat bands, which pass obliquely upward from the front of the head of the fibula to the front of the lateral condyle of the tibia.
		—This syndesmosis is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the lower end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia.

	FIBULA (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In man the head of the fibula is joined to the head of the tibia by ligaments and does not form part of the knee.
		The base of the fibula forms the outer projection (malleolus) of the ankle and is joined to the tibia and to one of the ankle bones, the talus.
		The fibula is slim and roughly four sided--its shape varies with the strength of the attached muscles.

	Fractured Tibia & Fibula Due To Erotic Dancing
		It is a dance associated with gyrating movements of the hips and pelvis accompanied by swaying, spiral movements of the lower limbs while moving towards the ground.
		Usually a twisting force causes a spiral fracture of the tibia and fibula 1 and some articles state stress fractures of the tibia and fibula are a result of increase of inappropriate strain with pre-existing risk factors such as connective tissue disorders, osteoperosis, early menopause, methotrexate, corticosteroids and prolonged immobilization
		There are few esoteric causes for a spiral tibia and fibula fracture to occur with only one case of a closed tibia and fibula fracture due to loss of attention secondary to excessive use of laxatives with diuretics

	Fibula Flap
		The fibula is a long thin bone that has close proximity to the peroneal artery and venae and can therefore be harvested on a single large pedicle.
		Because the fibula is part of the ankle joint, the distal six centimeters of the fibula are preserved to avoid injury to the ankle joint.
		The proximal and distal fibula are marked and the axis of the bone is drawn.

		Often confused, the tibia is the shin bone that bears most of the weight and the fibula is the splint bone located on the outside of the lower leg.
		Motorcycle accidents are the most common cause of this type of injury although, because of the nature of the sport, fractures to the tibia and fibula are not uncommon in bell ringing where there is a tendency to repeatedly jump off of a bell frame for 35 years.
		This is followed by rehabilitation with a chartered physiotherapist to restore the range of ankle and knee movement, and to restore the muscle strength that is lost during the immobilization period.

		The lower extremity of the fibula is the lateral malleolus, the bony projection which is readily felt at the ankle.
		It articulates with the tibia by means of the proximal tibiofibular joint (a small synovial joint), the distal tibiofibular joint (a strong fibrous joint or syndesmosis) and the interosseous membrane which runs between the interosseous borders of the tibia and fibula.

	Fibulas from Crafty Celts
		Fibulas were often worn in pairs to secure a dress or cape at the shoulders, often connected by a chain.
		A single fibulas can also be used to secure a wrap or shawl at one shoulder, or decoratively on a jacket or sweater, or at the bottom of a kilt.
		This brooch is an almost exact reproduction of a Celtic fibula from Austria, dating from 300 B.C. It shows the Celtic fondness of using domestic, as well as exotic and mythical animals in their artwork.

	Fibula (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Extremely small fibulae are associated with two types of limb modification: 1) elongations of the limb primarily affect the tibiotarsus, increasing its length more than that of the fibula; 2) miniaturizations of the limb reduce both tibiotarsus and fibula length, but are regularly associated with structural reductions of the distal parts of the fibula.
		Mesenchyme excisions are shown to have unequal effects on the two zeugopod bones, affecting the fibula to a greater degree than the tibiotarsus.
		The consequences of this differential susceptibility of the skeletal blastemata are discussed both in terms of pattern formation in limb development and in terms of its bearing on the patterns of evolutionary limb reduction.
