OBJECTIVES
•

•
Side determination
Describe upper end,shaft,lower end
Muscle attachment
X-RAYS
Tibia
• There are two bones in the leg
• Lies medially
• Is longer than the
fibula
• Is a weight-bearing
bone
• It is also called SHIN
bone
SIDE DETERMINATION
• Upper end wide and expanded having two
condyles
• Triangular shift having sharp anterior border
• Lower end having most medial bony
projection called medial melleulus
The Tibia is a long bone
with expanded proximal
end having following bony
features
 Medial and lateral
condyles
 Intercondylar area
 Intercondylar eminence
 Medial and lateral
condylar tubercle
 Tibial tuberosity
Lateral Tibial
Condyle
SHAFT OF TIBIA
• BORDERS
Anterior =sharp border
Lateral = interoccious border
Medial border
SURFACES
Lateral surface= upper fibular notch
Medial surface
Posterior surface=soliace line
LOWER END OF TIBIA
SURFACES
anterior
medial
lateral
posterior
MEDIAL MELLOLUS
LOWER FIBULER NOTCH
INFERIOR SURFACE articulate with TALUS
BONE to form ankle joint
