title: [In vitro studies of the load bearing function of the interosseous membrane and fibula in relation to total stress capacity of the lower leg].
abstract: The present paper illustrates the importance of the interosseous membrane and the loadbearing function of the fibula in relieving stress on the tibia. The author's theoretical and experimental studies, as well as clinical observations, confirm that the intact interosseous membrane and fibula relieve the tibia by approx. 30%.
