Apex of the Head of the Fibula

The apex of the head of the fibula (English: Apex capitatis fibulae) is the upper part of the head of the fibula, which is located on its surface and serves to connect with the tibia. The tip of the head of the fibula is shaped like a truncated cone and is located approximately 2-3 cm from the tip of the fibula.

The apex of the head of the fibula is an important anatomical structure as it serves as the attachment point for the muscles and ligaments that provide stability to the ankle joint. In addition, the tip of the fibular head can be damaged in ankle injuries, which can lead to various complications.

Various imaging techniques, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound, are used to diagnose injuries to the apex of the fibular head. Treatment may include surgery to restore tissue integrity or immobilization of the ankle to prevent further damage.

In general, the tip of the head of the fibula plays an important role in the functioning of the ankle joint and damage to it can lead to serious complications, so it is necessary to monitor its condition and, if necessary, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.



The apex of the head of the fibula is an important anatomical formation that is located on the anterior surface of the knee joint. It is one of the components of the femorofibular articular surface and acts as a support for the tendons of the anterior cruciate ligament.

The head of the fibula is the convex part that is the main structural feature of the peroneal tendon. It has a round shape with a diameter of about 3-4 mm. The head is located on the upper limb of the fibular condyle, which is a process of the condylar bone.

The little finger is part of the patella and consists of two zones: medial and lateral. It is formed by a split surface with a high ridge. The insertion of the peroneal tendons is located in this area. On the surface of the condylar process of the ankle there is an opening through which the head of the peroneal muscle enters the articular cavity.

The apex of the fibular head is connected to the periosteum of the acetabular bone through collagen synthesis.

Connections with the capsule of the fibular region. It has a close connection with the menisci and lateral meniscus. The junction is not intended for movement, but provides stability to the condylar regions.

The fibular tip curves inward of the joint and is located in front of the biceps. The head of the triceps is located posteriorly. Between them there are lateral
