tibia vs fibula

o remember how to distinguish the fibula from the tibia, consider the “fib” and “l” parts of the word fibula. To tell a small lie is to fib. The fibula is smaller than the tibia, and is also lateral to it.

To remember where the talus is located, think that the talus is on top of the foot and articulates with the tibia.
