Recent evidence points toward a weight bearing and dynamic stabilizing function of the distal fibula in ankle joint mechanics. When fibular rotation and translation are restricted, ankle pain during weight bearing and push off often (but not always) results. The case histories of six professional athletes with distal tibial synostosis resulting from internal rotation-inversion injury confirm recent reports of ankle disability resulting from restriction of fibular motion, but suggest that there may be many patients with this lesion who are not disabled. Two patients with incomplete synostosis were asymptomatic, and one with complete synostosis had only occasional pain after vigorous exercise.
近期证据表明，在踝关节力学中，腓骨远端具有负重和动态稳定功能。当腓骨旋转和平移受到限制时，负重和蹬离过程中常（但并非总是）会出现踝关节疼痛。6例因内旋-内翻损伤导致胫腓骨远端融合的职业运动员病例史证实了近期有关腓骨运动受限导致踝关节功能障碍的报道，但也表明可能有许多患有这种病变的患者并未出现功能障碍。2例不完全融合的患者无症状，1例完全融合的患者仅在剧烈运动后偶尔感到疼痛。
