Which bone articulates with the distal tibia and fibula?
The bone thst articulates with the tibia and fibula is the Talus bone.
What bone marking protrudes from your inner ankle?
Your fibula.
Is the fibula a medial bone?
The medial malleolus is located on the tibia. The fibula forms the lateral malleolus.
Which bone has the head located on the distal end?
The fibula bone has the head located on the distal end. The head of the fibula articulates with the tibia to form the superior tibiofibular joint.
What is a fracture of the distal end of the fibula?
A fracture of the distal end of the fibula, known as a lateral malleolus fracture, typically occurs at the ankle joint. It is commonly caused by twisting or direct impact to the ankle. Treatment may involve immobilization with a cast or surgery, depending on the severity of the fracture.
What joint is the ankle?
Ankle is a synovial type of joint. You have the lower end of tibia bone, medially and lower end of fibula bone, laterally and talus bone on other side of the joint.
Is a distal fibula fracture with callus good or bad?
A bone fracture is never good. A callus on the bone fracture indicates healing has started.
What portion of the lower extremity is found distal to the knee and proximal to the ankle?
The portion of the lower extremity found distal to the knee and proximal to the ankle is the shin or the lower leg. It consists of the tibia bone at the front and the fibula bone at the back.
Which carpal bone can be palpated as a projection distal to the styloid process of the ulna?
The styloid process of the Ulna (one of the bones of the forearm) is where the Ulna connects to the ligament of the wrist joint. The Triquetrum, Lunate and Pisiform carpal bones all lie distal to this. However the carpal bone most easily palpable is the Pisiform bone.
Does the Peroneal nerve serve muscles of the chest shoulder arm leg or abdomen?
Peroneal nerve serve the peroneal muscles of leg. It can be palpated at the neck of Fibula bone. This copartment is situated lateral to the anterior border of Tibia bone.
Are bones limbs?
The bones in the arms and legs. These would be the radius and ulna in the distal part of the arm. That is the part connected to the hand. In the proximal part of the arm, it would be the humerus. That is the bone connected to the shoulder. In the legs, the limb bones are the femur, the tibia and the fibula. The femur is the large bone that articulates with the hip. The tibia and fibula are in the distal leg, near the foot. The patella is the knee cap found between the femur and the tibia and fibula. Many would not consider it a limb bone, but it is found in the limbs so many would. There are also many bones in your writs, hands and feet.
