True.
The distal malleoli of the tibia and fibula serve as pulleys for the posterior tendons to increase the mechanical advantage of the respective muscles in performing inversion and eversion. True or false?
True.
The lateral fibula serves as the attachment for knee joint structures, but does not articulate with the femur or patella. True or false?
True.
