Fun fact about the fibula- its name in Latin (fibula) and Greek (peroneal) means: "clasp." I love this fact because you can easily see why it was named that; not only does it look like a clasp or safety pin when it is next to the tibia, but its ability to move is imperative for optimal function because, like a safety pin, it connects things together. When it is locked, it can wreak havoc on things.
Spend 30min with me on a tour around the fibular anatomy. This small bone, written off by many, plays a big role in gait, ankle function, rotational knee stability, and hip and SI function.
Though it accounts for a small amount of load in weight-bearing, the fibula is a key player that, when not moving due to visceral, neural, or mechanical issues, drives a lot of faulty movement patterns and/or pain.
