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

Distal to these bones are the complex series of bones that make up the tarsus, these are the [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tarsal bones|tarsal bones]] and [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Metatarsal bones|metatarsals]].
