Lower extremity bones
Description
The lower limb skeleton consists of the femur, tibia, fibula, and the bones of the foot. The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, forming the thigh and playing a key role in weight-bearing and locomotion. The tibia is the primary weight-bearing bone of the lower leg, while the fibula provides lateral stability and serves as an attachment site for muscles. The foot is composed of multiple bones, including the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges, forming a complex structure essential for balance, support, and movement.
