The Fibula is the smaller bone on the outside of the lower leg. It runs alongside the tibia (shinbone) from just below the knee to the ankle. It helps form important joints and provides attachment points for key muscles and ligaments. In orthopedics, it is commonly discussed in ankle injuries, lower-leg fractures, and lateral (outer) knee pain.
