The bones immediately distal to the [[Femur - Anatomy & Physiology|Femur]] are the [[Tibia - Anatomy & Physiology|Tibia]], [[Fibula - Anatomy & Physiology|Fibula]], [[Patella - Anatomy & Physiology|patella]] and some minor sesamoid bones. Some of these are involved in the stifle joint, weight-bearing and providing attachment for muscles.
