∙ 15y agoThey are the lower leg bones, usually referred to as the sural which means calf of the leg. The fibula is connected by a synovial joint to your other shin bone, the tibia. The fibula is what makes your outer ankle bone. And the tibia makes your inner 'ankle' bone. The main job of the tibia is to form a hinge joint with the femur, which allows you to walk, run, kick a ball, and generally have fun.
