Finite element analysis of the Fibula's contribution to lower extremity torsional stiffness
The fibula plays a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity and biomechanical function of the lower extremity. It acts as a lateral strut, contributing to the stability of the ankle and knee by providing an attachment point for several muscles and ligaments that are essential for coordinating complex movements and providing stability during dynamic activities.
