The fibula or calf bone is a leg bone on the lateral side of the tibia, to which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones and, in proportion to its length, the most slender of all the long bones.

The tibia (os tibia) and fibula (os fibula) are the bones that support the leg. The larger tibia or shinbone is located medial to the fibula and bears most of the weight.

It is also perfused from its periosteum which receives many small branches from the fibular artery.
