Within the '''[[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tibia|tibia]]''', thee cochlea has a lateral notch for the articulation with the fibula.

*'''[[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tibia|Tibia]]'''

** The cochlea has a lateral notch for the articulation with the fibula.

 

In canines the '''[[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Fibula|fibula]]''' has maintained its entire length but still has reduced strength and function.The '''interosseous space''' seperates the [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tibia|tibia]] from the fibula proximally and this gap is bridged by soft tissue. In thin dogs the entire bone is palpable but in heavy-set dogs only the proximal extremity is plalpable. The fibular head articulates with the lateral condyle of the [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tibia|tibia]].

Within the '''[[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tarsal bones#Talus|Talus]]''' the trochlea ridges are less pronounced and extend further distally than other species allowing for increased mobility. The trochlea also articulates with the distal fibula and medial malleolus. The body and head of the talus are seperated by a well defined '''neck'''.

** In thin dogs the entire bone is palpable but in heavy-set dogs only the proximal extremity is plalpable.

** The fibular head articulates with the lateral condyle of the [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tibia|tibia]].

 

The canine '''[[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tarsal bones#Distal Row of Tarsal Bones| distal row of tarsal bones]]''' still contain the original number of 5 bones and has the central bone, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th tarsal bones.
