On the ;icular surface the concave areas for the reception of the condyles the femur are separated from one other by a small intervening, rtly divided hillock, the inter- ndyloid eminence (eminentia :ercondyloidea), and also poster- ly by a depression of the articular rder, the posterior intercondy- id fossa. A corresponding anterior bercondyloid fossa lies in front of i intercondyloid eminence, but is orly differentiated. The fibula (Fig. 71) is the smaller, eral, bone of the leg, and in the Dbit is so extensively fused with the lia that scarcely more than a third it is distinguishable. The free rtion forms a flattened bony splint, s medial margin of which is firmly ited with the tibia by the inter- seous ligament of the leg. Its oximal extremity is connected with s lateral condyle of the tibia by an mgated epiphysis, the latter, like 3se of the distal ends of the radius d ulna, being distinguishable even older animals. The combined distal extremities the tibia and fibula bear a roughly ;tangular articular surface for the -sus. The tibial portion of this rface presents two grooves, separ- ;d by a ridge, for articulation with the trochlea tali. On its ;dial side is a small projection, the medial malleolus (malleolus ;dialis).. mm- FlG. 71.
