The fibula usually consists of the two extremities only. The head is fused with the lateral condyle of the tibia and is continued by a small, blunt-pointed prolonga- tion below. The distal end remains separate and forms the lateral malleolus (some- times called the os malleolare). It is quadrilateral in outline and compressed from side to side. The proximal surface articulates with the distal end of the tiliia, and bears a small spine which fits into the groove on that bone. The distal surface rests on the fibular tarsal, and the medial articulates with the lateral ridge of the tibial tarsal bone. The lateral surface is rough and irregular. The early cartilaginous fibula is complete, but later the shaft is reduced to the small prolongation noted in speaking of the head and a fibrous cord which connects it with the distal end (lateral malleolus). In some cases, however, the upper part undergoes partial ossification, forming a slender rod which is usually united with the lateral border of the tibia and is joined to the head jjy fibrous Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Sisson, Septimus, 1865-1924.
