The interbody joint

The intercostal joint , articulatio tibiofibularis. Joint articular surfaces are represented by flat surfaces of the head of the fibula, fades articutaris capitis fibulae, and lateral condyle of the tibia, facies articularis fibularis.

The joint capsule is attached along the edge of the articular surfaces, tightly stretched and reinforced by the anterior and posterior ligaments of the fibular head, iigg. Capitis fibulae anterius and posterius, the ligaments are located on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the joint and are directed from the tibia to the peroneal head.

The proximal articulation of the tibia refers to the inferior joints.
The interosseous space between the bones of the shin is filled with the interosseous membrane of the lower leg, the membrane interossea cruris, which is a syndesmosis.

The fibers of the membrane follow from top to bottom and lateral from the interosseous edge of the tibia to the same end of the peroneal bone. In the upper part of the membrane there is a large opening that allows the vessels and nerve, and in the lower part there is a small hole through which the vessels pass. In the lower part, the membrane is more firm.

Distal epithelium of the shin bones form an interciliary syndesmosis, syndesmosis tibiofibularis, and this syndesmosis often contains a synovial continuation of the ankle joint; In this case it can be considered as an intercostal joint, articulatio tibiofibularis,

On the front and back surfaces of this joint are short but strong ligaments stretched from the anterior and posterior margins of the fibula of the tibia to the lateral ankle. This is the anterior and posterior intercellular ligaments. Ligg. Tibiofibularia anterius et posterius. In addition, dense bundles of connective tissue fibers are stretched all the way between the peroneal incision of the tibia and the rough surface of the lateral malleolus facing toward it.
