My husband is scheduled for surgery for the removal of his fibula. He has had two previous surgeries with no relief of the pain. First meniscus tear, then part of the fibula was cut away. Two different surgeons. Now a new surgeon by reading the op reports and seeing the area of the pain, feels the fibula needs to go. What could happen without the fibula?

Yes, you can live without your fibula. The fibula is not a weight-bearing bone, so its absence does not significantly impact mobility or function. However, there may be some issues with stability and weight distribution in the lower leg if the fibula is removed.
