A cross-sectional, descriptive type was done in the Department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh, from January to December of 2023, to determine the correlation between maximum length and neck circumference of adult human fibula in a Bangladeshi population. A total of 300 (152 right and 148 left) samples of dry adult human fibulae were taken as selected through purposive sampling technique. Fibulae bones having any pathological deformity or unossified and fractured bones were excluded from this study. Only fully ossified and intact bones are used. A metallic scale was used to measuring the maximum length of the fibula bones. The neck circumference of the fibula was measured by a measuring tape. The mean of maximum length of the fibulae were 34.32±2.05 cm on right side and 34.40±2.26 cm on left side, while the mean neck circumference of fibulae were 3.4±0.50 cm on right side and 3.59±0.55 cm on left side. Pearson correlation coefficient revealed that positive correlation exists between the maximum length and the neck circumference of the fibula (for right side r=0.016, p>0.05; for left side r=0.282, p<0.001).
