The superior tibiofibular articulation is an arthrodial joint between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the head of the fibula. The inferior tibiofibular articulation (tibiofibular syndesmosis) is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the lower end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia.
The shafts of the two bones are covered by muscles, except for the anteromedial aspect of the tibia, which lies directly beneath the skin all the way from the knee to the ankle.. The proximal end of the fibula doesnât form part of the knee joint, but its distal end forms an important part of the ankle joint, as weâll see. The tibia and fibula are held together throughout their length by the strong interosseous membrane. Above and below theâre attached at the two tibio-fibular joints.
