The fibula is the narrower of the two lower leg bones. It runs approximately parallel to the tibia and is located on the lateral side of the lower leg.
Anatomy
The fibula is a relatively elastic tubular bone of the lower leg. It lies laterally next to the shinbone and is clearly narrower than it. It can be divided into three sections: the fibula shaft, the fibula head and the lateral malleolus.
Fibula shaft
The fibula shaft has a triangular cross section and therefore has three sides. However, there are up to four edges on the Corpus fibulae. The outer surface (Facies lateralis) is separated from the inner surface (Facies medialis) by the strongly pronounced anterior Margo, which points forward. The Margo interosseus represents the border between the inner surface and the posterior surface (Facies posterior). On the other hand, the posterior margin separates the back surface from the outer surface. In the lower part of the back surface there is usually a fourth edge, this is called the crista medialis.
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.
Malleolus lateralis
The distal end of the fibula is the Malleolus lateralis. This is the external ankle and is indicated by a prolonged bony protrusion. This extends a little further distally than the inner ankle on the other side. The malleolus fork is formed by the two ankles. On the rear side of the Malleolus alteralis there is a dent, the Sulcus malleolaris lateralis. The inside of the distal fibula is marked by the articular surface Facies articularis malleoli lateralis.
Funktion
Das Wadenbein hat im Gegensatz zum Schienbein keine große tragende Funktion. Es dient hauptsächlich als Ansatz- und Ursprungspunkt für Muskeln und Sehnen. Allerdings hat das Wadenbein eine Beteiligung am Sprunggelenk und leitet über den Außenknöchel die Kräfte in den Fuß weiter. Auch dient das Wadenbein als weiterer Ankerpunkt für das Schienbein und stabilisiert dieses.
Entwicklung
Die Verknöcherung des Wadenbeinschaftes beginnt im zweiten Embryonalmonat. Die vollständige Verknöcherung der Enden des Wadenbeines findet erst im zweiten Lebensjahr statt. Das Verschließen der Epiphysenfugen erfolgt zwischen dem 16. und dem 20. Lebensjahr.
