There are four long bones in the stifle joint, which is equivalent to the human knee joint. These long bones are the femur, tibia, fibula, and patella.
The tibia is part of the lower leg. Below your thigh, (femur), and your knee,(patella), are two long bones, the tibia and the fibula. They are easy to tell apart in that the tibia is larger then the fibula. "The shin bone", is your tibia. It is slightly stronger than the fibula.
The fibula is lateral to the tibia.
The tibia is the stronger of the two. This relates to the functions of the two bones as the tibia is the one on which the weight of the body rests whereas the fibula is primarily and atachment site for muscle insertions.
