Final answer:
True. The head of the fibula does not contribute to the formation of the knee joint.
Step-by-step explanation:
The head of the fibula is the small, knob-like, proximal end of the fibula. It articulates with the inferior aspect of the lateral tibial condyle, forming the proximal tibiofibular joint.
The distal end of the fibula forms the lateral malleolus, which forms the easily palpated bony bump on the lateral side of the ankle. The head of the fibula, however, does not play a direct role in the formation of the knee joint.
