[The role of the fibula in the stability of the lower leg].
The authors wanted to study on 24 prepared lower leg sceleton the biomechanical role of the fibula in a "total load" position. The supporting capacity of the fibula makes nearly 1/3 of the total, therefore the surgical reconstruction of the fibula can be useful in the treatment of fractures of the lower leg.
