Two long bones, known as the tibia and fibula, make up the legs. The tibia is the larger bone and is more commonly known as the shinbone. “Tibia” is Latin, meaning bone flute and shinbone. Flutes were once made from the tibia of animals. The fibula runs parallel to the tibia. "...
16-57). Fractures can involve one or both femoral condyles, the tibial tuberosity, or the proximal third of the fibula as well as the patella. As many views as necessary should be utilized to evaluate these injuries. Stress fractures about the knee, especially the proximal tibia, are not ...
A tibia and a fibula. This is where it gets a little weird. I measured the other fibula, not on display, as being 116cm long. That sounds big, but it’s only a few cm larger than the fibulae of CM 3018 or AMNH 6341. So either Jimbo was unusually short-legged for the size of ...
Next cabinet going around clockwise has these dorsal vertebrae and a couple of broken neural spine tops. The vertebra on the left is the one shown in lateral view at the top of this post. A tibia and a fibula. This is where it gets a little weird. I measured the other fibula, not o...
The gaskin is the muscular area between the stifle and the hock. The underlying bones are the tibia and the smaller fibula which are equivalent to our calf and shin bones. Continue to 24 of 29 below 24of 29 Stifle Mark Newman/Getty Images ...
X-ray showed intra-articular fracture of proximal tibia extending to diaphysis classified as type 6 by Schatzker classification for proximal tibia, with fibula shaft transverse fracture. The skin over the fracture was contused. Debridement with primary wound closure was done in emergency. Skeletal ...
She put in another plate where the fibula was and then a metal rod through the tibia. I was so grateful that not only am I no longer deformed, but I could walk. I actually thought it was some kind of miracle that, after all I went through, I could walk. ...

Using the 193 cm length given for the similarly sized scapula Sa 9, we can deduce a reasonable total estimate of 238 cm for the scapulocoracoid.[3] Estimated by Janensch (1950b:99) based on cross-scaling from the fibula and ilium of Find J from the Upper Saurian Marl.[4] This is ...
— From about two minutes in, Jensen seems be uncovering bones in dry sand, rather like kids in a palaeo pits at some museums. It takes about one minute to uncover a nice tibia. Is it ever really that easy? Is the Dry Mesa quarry that easy to work?
