It should not be confused with the superior tibiofibular joint, which is the only synovial tibiofibular joint, and is sometimes simply called the tibiofibular articulation.
The opposite hand grasps the lateral portion of the leg at the level of the superior tibiofibular joint, increasing the force of internal rotation.
A fractured fibula in addition to detaching the medial malleolus will tear the tibiofibular syndesmosis.
These are the medial and lateral tibiofemoral compartments, the patellofemoral compartment and the superior tibiofibular joint.
The anterior tibial veins drain the ankle joint, knee joint, tibiofibular joint, and the anterior portion of the lower leg.
It is continuous below with the interosseous ligament of the tibiofibular syndesmosis, and presents numerous perforations for the passage of small vessels.
The talus then moves laterally, shearing off the lateral malleolus or, more commonly, breaking the fibula superior to the tibiofibular syndesmosis.
The tibiofibular joints are the articulations between the tibia and fibula which allows very little movement.
