The leg consists of two bones, the tibia and fibula. One way to tell these two apart is by looking at their size, the tibia is much larger. Also, you have to be aware of their location while in anatomic position. The tibia is the medial bone while the fibula is the lateral bone of the leg. Another important fact to be aware of is that the fibula does no articulate with the femur at the knee, that is all tibia and femur (tibiofemoral joint).
