Study Notes
Tibiofibular Articulations
- Three articulations exist: superior tibiofibular joint, inferior tibiofibular joint, and interosseous membrane.
- No significant, active movement occurs between the tibia and fibula.
- Minimal movement between the two bones is related to ankle joint movement.
