A member asked:
What is the difference between fibia vs fibula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One is correct: Fibula is the correct anatomical term for the smaller of the two lower leg bones. Fibia does not exist, and comes from an accidental combination of the words tibia and fibula. Tibia is the larger of the two lower leg bones.
