As the fibular side of the leg lay next to the plate and as the only slightly enlarged shadow of the bullet indicates it to be near the plate, its position is in the joint near the fibular side.
The fibular side of the leg lay next to the plate, as the distinct and not exaggerated outlines of the fibula can be seen in the dense shadow of the tibia.
The ball lies on the fibular side superficially, just in front of the fibula.
The fibular side lay next to the plate, as shown by the shadow of the fibula and the calcaneo-cuboid articulation.
As the shadow of the shrapnel ball is much enlarged and not very dense, the ball must lie some distance from the plate and away from the fibular side of the joint.
The tibio-tarsus is very short, with the shaft curved outwards, the distal extremity markedly inflected, and the fibular ridge much shorter than in the other genera.
From Chenopis it differs in several respects, and the very long fibular crest of the latter at once separates them.
In some instances the protruding parts assume large proportions, but always, because of the relationship between the fibular tarsal bone (calcaneum) and the tendon sheath, the larger protrusion is situated mesially.
Extension of the stifle joint would increase the distance between the femoral origin of the gastrocnemius and its insertion to the summit of fibular tarsal bone (calcis) were it not for the gastrocnemius and superficial flexor (perforatus).
Showing distension of the sheath of the deep flexor tendon as it protrudes antero-externally to the fibular tarsal bone (calcaneum).
The latter structure, which is chiefly tendinous, originates in the supracondyloid fossa of the femur and has an insertion to the summit of the fibular tarsal (calcis) bone.
As an instance of this the inferior tibio-fibular joint of mammals may be cited.
The tibio-fibular articulations resemble the radio-ulnar in position but are much less movable.
In most Mammals the superior tibio-fibular joint communicates with the knee.
In the Urodela (Goette) the ulnar and fibular sides are primitively dorsal, and the radial and tibial ventral: in Mammalia however Koelliker states that the radial and tibial edges are from the first anterior.
The ulnar or fibular side of the carpus or tarsus becomes divided into a proximal element--the ulnare or fibulare--the ulnare remaining partially united with the intermedium.
To some the fibular incision may appear unnecessary; but I have long practised it from conviction of its advantage.
Apart from this, the ankle is usually sprained in fractures by indirect violence, and we have frequently found the superior tibio-fibular articulation torn open in severe fractures of both bones of the leg from indirect violence.
The synovial cavity of the superior tibio-fibular articulation is usually distinct from that of the knee-joint, but may communicate with it through the popliteal bursa.
The tibio-fibular interosseous ligament usually resists, and an oblique fracture of the fibula 2 or 4 inches above its lower end results.
It is often difficult to detect the fibular fracture, and it is not always advisable to attempt to do so, especially if the manipulations cause pain or tend to increase the displacement.
The individual tarsal bones, especially the talus and calcaneus, are altered in shape as well as in their relations to one another and to the tibio-fibular socket.
The tibio-fibular interosseous ligament may rupture, or the outer portion of the tibia, to which it is attached, may be avulsed.
Both fractures are usually oblique--that in the tibia running from above downward, forward, and medially, and it is generally found that the obliquity of the fibular fracture corresponds with that in the tibia.
THE ANKLE-JOINT There is a common synovial cavity for the ankle and the inferior tibio-fibular joints.
II fuses to the superficial surface of the fibular arm of the guide loop for M.
Lateral head: This arises fleshily (sometimes partly tendinously) from the lateral surface of the fibula proximal to the fibular tubercle.
The fibular crest is longitudinal on the lateral surface of the tibiotarsus and fuses with the middle part of the fibula.
The fibular tubercle is small and on the lateral surface of the fibula near the level of the middle of the fibular crest.
The anterolateral intermuscular line is a slight ridge extending from the fibular crest down the anterolateral surface of the tibiotarsus.
IV and flexor perforatus digiti II, the fibular and distal arms of the guide loop for M.
The fibular arm (broadest of the three) passes deep to, and fused with, the common tendon of origin of the lateral heads of Mm.
That the head of the fibula must be retained in every case, as in a certain proportion the tibio-fibular articulation communicates with the knee-joint.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "fibular" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
