Attachments at Fibular Head?

The biceps femoris tendon attaches to the fibular head. The fibularis longus and fibularis brevis tendons attach to the lateral fibula. The extensor digitorum longus and extensor hallucis longus tendons attach to the medial fibula.

What attaches to proximal fibula?

Muscle attachments

The fibula acts as an proximal attachment for the following muscles: Extensor digitorum longus: Superior 3/4 of medial border. Extensor hallucis longus: Middle of anterior surface. Fibularis tertius: Inferior 1/3 of anterior surface.

What causes fibular head pain?

Unstable or damaged joint – If the ligaments that hold the fibula to the tibia are loose or damaged, this causes too much motion or fibular head instability. The joint here between the two bones can become arthritic or swollen, which can cause pain. These ligaments include the tibiofibular and lateral collateral.
