-
The splinter bone of the leg. (F.) Perone. The long, small bone, situate at the outer part of the leg. The superior or tibial extremity of the fibula is rounded and forms the caput or head. It is articulated with the tibia. Its inferior or tarsal extremity is broader than the superior. It is articulated with the tibia and astragalus, and forms the malleolus externua or outer ankle by means of its coronoid process. The body of the bone has three faces, having more or less prominent edges. It is separated from the tibia by the interosseous space, and is developed by three points of ossification; one at the body, and one at each extremity. It prevents the foot from turning outwards.
