Dear Rafael!I don't know any references on this point and would be also interested in them if you ever find. I can say that in the dog skeleton collection of our laboratory (~ 100 speimens) at least six specimens have fused fibula, and they all are of medium size.Best wishes, Mitya.Dear Zooarchers,I was wondering if fibula fusion with tibia is common in dogs. I understand that it may be due to extreme age but I would like to know if there may be other factors.Is the phenomenon common? Do you have any articles about it? I have a case in an individual of advanced age, of the Roman Andalusia...Best wishes,Rafael M.Rafael M.
