What is the function of the fibular vein?
The fibular vein is involved in draining deoxygenated blood from the muscles and soft tissues of the lateral leg compartment, returning it to the deep venous system of the lower limb.
What conditions may be associated with the fibular vein?
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower leg, venous insufficiency, or trauma to the lateral leg compartment may be associated with involvement of the fibular vein.
