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
