The fibula is also known as the calf bone. It is the smaller of the two bones that run between the knee and ankle. The other bone in the calf is the tibia. The fibula and the tibia are connected at the top and bottom.
At the top, near the knee, the fibula ends without making up part of the knee joint. At the bottom, it forms one part of the ankle joint. This bone is unique because it is so slender. Compared to the length of the fibula, it is remarkably small in diameter. It is not a weight bearing bone, but its neighbor, the tibia, bears the weight in the leg.
