Fibular head manipulation
What is the head of the fibula?
Head of fibula - posterior view. It articulates with the lateral condyle of the tibia at the proximal tibiofibular joint. Soleal line (popliteal line) of the tibia is an oblique ridge that extends along the proximal surface.
What is anterior fibular head mobilization?
Movement of the fibula is anteriorly to posteriorly until the joint end range is reached. Short, arc oscillations at the joint end play are applied through the end range until the joint frees and movement is restored. Figure 2. Anterior fibular head mobilization technique.
What techniques are used to treat fibular head somatic dysfunction?
Two OMT techniques are commonly used to treat fibular head somatic dysfunction. These techniques are the muscle energy technique and the high-velocity low-amplitude technique.
How is a fibular head palpated?
The fibular head could be palpated as a prominent bony lump, felt subcutaneously in the posterior lateral corner of the popliteal fossa. In a prospective study of 20 patients with ACLI, the mean age of the patients (15 males, five females) at the time of assessment was 26 years (range, 18-57 years).

tibia, the fibular head will translate 1 to 3 mm anteriorly and posteri-orly. Anterior translation of the fibular head is coupled with inter-nal rotation of tibiofemoral joint, whereas posterior translation ac-companies external rotation. It is postulated that fibular translation acts as a shock absorber during torsional stress. Slight superior–
