GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Articular surfaces The inferior tibiofibular joint is a fibrous joint, precisely a syndesmosis. The articular surfaces of this joint are the triangular convex surface on the medial aspect of the distal end of the fibula and the reciprocally concave fibular notch on the distal end of tibia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Head of fibula is a small, knob-like extension at the superior end of the bone. It articulates with the lateral condyle of the tibia at the proximal tibiofibular joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Structure and Function The syndesmotic articulation of the distal tibiofibular joint occurs between the convex surface of the distal tip of the fibula and the concave fibular notch of the distal tibia. The stability of the syndesmosis is crucial to proper dynamic ankle and lower extremity function.

Detailed explanation-5: -The superior/proximal tibiofibular joint is where the proximal end of tibia articulates with the head of the fibula. The articulation site on the tibia is found on the lateral side of its proximal part, while the fibula participates with the medial surface of its head.
