The fibula is a long and slender bone located in the lower leg, beside the tibia. It is classified as a type of long bone. The fibula mainly serves as a support for the leg muscles and has a minor role in weight-bearing compared to the tibia.
The fibula is located around your calf. It is around (actally a little above) your ankle area and ends around the back of your knee.
The bone called fibula is the calf bone, located near the tibia (shin bone).
It's the long bone in your leg, actually the longest bone in your body. It's the one above your knee below your pelvic girdle.
