Abstract
The fibula also known as the calf bone is a slender long bone and located lateral to the tibia. The fibula can be recognized by its head placed proximally, twisted shaft and lateral malleolus placed distally. The aim of this study was to measure the maximum length of the fibula in Bangladeshi people. This study was taken from 300 (right 152 and left 148) samples were selected through the purposive sampling technique for this cross-sectional descriptive study which was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh from January 2023 to December 2023. Any damaged, unossified, fractured fibula was excluded. Data were tabulated and statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS software. The mean ± SD of maximum length of fibula was 34.32±2.05 cm on right side and 34.40±2.26 cm on left side. The several osteometric parameters from the adult human fibula can be accurately determined a person's natural height, his nutritional condition, his individuality and gender and also helps in different ankle fracture management.
