I’m not a doctor but I believe that piece of bone is fairly important
The fibula isn't a weight bearing bone. The part near the ankle is important, as it's part of the joint, but the middle doesn't do much. It's frequently used for bony reconstruction, like for head and neck cancer surgeries.
I've just straight up cut one out because it got in the way of our bypass (I think fem to peroneal)
Bet you couldn't run without it
Nerp. People that aren't doctors also sometimes believe drinking bleach cures covid. Please check with an expert before deciding which bones are and are not fairly important.
I'm not sure what a nerp is, but they're not advocating for anyone to remove any bones. It's not a big deal.
Instructions unclear, just finished removing part of my fibula to reduce my weight so I can get mad ups
Ups?
