Which bone is described by the following: leg,shin,and medial malleolus?
A) Fibula
B) Tibia
C) Talus
D) Femur

Accepted Answer

The tibia is the bone in the leg that is commonly referred to as the shin bone. It is located on the medial side of the leg and the prominence on the inner ankle is called the medial malleolus. The fibula is also located in the leg, but it is located on the lateral side of the leg and does not contribute to the weight-bearing function of the leg. The talus is a bone in the foot, and the femur is a bone in the thigh.
