The two main bones of the leg are the tibia (‘shin bone’) located medially and the fibula, which is located more laterally. The tibia is the largest of the two, hence it is responsible for weight bearing.
The leg is specifically the region between the knee joint and the ankle joint. Distal to the ankle is the foot. The lower limb contains 30 bones. These are the femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges (see [link]). The femur is the single bone of the thigh.

Explore the role of leg and foot bones in movement, balance, and support with Innerbody's 3D anatomical model.
Introduction. The leg is the region of the lower limb between the knee and the foot. It comprises two bones: the tibia and the fibula. The role of these two bones is to provide stability and support to the rest of the body, and through articulations with the femur and foot/ankle and the muscles attached to these bones, provide mobility and the ...
