The outer and thinner of the two bones between the knee and ankle of the leg (6)
I believe the answer is:
fibula
(Other definitions for fibula that I've seen before include "Outer bone in the calf" , "A lower-leg bone" , "Bone of the lower leg" , "Human leg-bone" .)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
