Fibular articular facet
Facies articularis fibularis
Definition
The fibular articular facet is a flat, circular surface located on the postero-inferior aspect of the lateral condyle of the femur. It forms a joint with the upper end of the fibula, creating the tibiofibular joint.
Superomedial to the fibular facet, the posterior surface of the lateral condyle features a distinct bony groove.
