THE FBULA The fibula of the horse is a much reduced long bone, situated along the lateral border of the tibia. The shaft (Corpus fibulce) is a slender rod which forms the lateral boundary of the interosseous space of the leg; it usually terminates below in a pointed end aljout one-half to two-thirtls of the way down the lateral border of the tibia. The proximal extremity or head (Caiiituluni fibute) is relatively large, and is fiattenetl transversely. Its medial surface presents a narrow area (Facies articu- laris capituli) along the upper border for articulation with the lateral condyle of tibia. The lateral surface is rough and gives attachment to the lateral ligament of the stifle joint. It has rounded anterior and posterior 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.
