Fibula head

The proximal end of the fibula is characterized by a sphere-like bone structure, this is the head of the fibula (caput fibulae). On its inner side there is a joint surface, the facies articularis capitis fibulae. Via this the fibula makes the connection to the tibia. On the cranial side of the head of the fibula there is a small bony protrusion. This is called the apex capitis fibulae.
