Tibia 3D

 

  • Tibia
    • * The tibia is the medial bone of the leg. It is homologous with the radius of the upper limb.
    • *It has two ends, three borders, three surfaces, a tuberosity, and two condyles at the lower end.
    • * It has medial and lateral condyles that articulate with the condyles of the femur.
    • * It has a projection called the medial malleolus with a malleolar groove for the tendons of the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus muscles
    • * It has groove (posterolateral to the malleolus groove) for the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus muscle.
       
  • Medial condyle
    • * Medial condyle is larger than the lateral condyle. Its superior surface articulates with the medial condyle of the femur.
    • * The peripheral part is flat and is separated from the femoral condyle by the medial meniscus.
       
  • Lateral condyle
    • * The lateral condyle overhangs the shaft more than the medial condyle.
    • * The superior surface of the condyle articulates with the lateral condyle of the femur. The articular surface is nearly circular.
    • * The peripheral part is flat and is separated from the femur by the lateral meniscus.
       
  • Tibial tuberosity
    • * Tuberosity of the tibia is a prominence located on the anterior aspect of the upper end of the tibia.
    • * It forms the anterior limits of the intercondylar area.
    • * It provides attachment to ligamentum patellae.
