The left fibula has a large, irregular calcification from the posterior surface of the proximal diaphysis consistent with myositis ossificans.
Such fibulae give only a hint as to the normal user.
Lateral from the facet, the anterior side flexes slightly laterally for the flat surface that indicates the distal contact with the fibula.
Stimulation was applied to the common peroneal nerve at the neck of the fibula and in the popliteal fossa.
Foremost of these are the fibulae, which have only a decorative function, as there is little space beneath the bow for a large amount of cloth.
This patient was a coal-face miner, aged 35, who sustained a fracture of the lower end of the fibula and a sprained ankle.
After the pelvis come the femur (thigh), patella, stifle joint, tibia, fibula, tarsal (hock) bone and joint, large metatarsal (cannon) and small metatarsal (splint) bones.
However, a pile-up at the finish line resulted in a broken fibula, ruling him out for the rest of the athletics season.
