LEG

Question 1

Has two bones the TIBIA and FIBULA, each extending from the knee to the ankle. These bones lie parallel to each other side by side.

Answer 1

Leg

Question 2

Lies on the inner (medial) side of the fibula.

Much larger and takes the weight of the body.

Answer 2

Tibia/Shin Bone

Question 3

Parts of Tibia.

Answer 3

MLITASMDF

Question 4

Is the medial (inner) half of the enlarged upper end. Its smooth, slightly cupped upper surface articulate with the medial condyle of the femur at the knee joint.

Answer 4

Medial Condyle

Question 5

Is the outer half of its expanded upper end. Its smooth surface articulate with the lateral condyle of the femur to complete the knee joint.

Answer 5

Lateral Condyle

Question 6

Is a small double-pointed prominence on the upper articular surface of the tibia about its midpoint.

Answer 6

Intercondyloid/Intercondylar Eminence

Question 7

Is a rounded prominence on the anterior (front) surface of the upper tibia below the condyles.

Answer 7

Tibial Tuberosity

Question 8

Is a smooth pit on the outer or lateral surface of the lateral condyle of the tibia where it accommodates the medial border of the head of the fibula, forming the “Proximal Tibio-Fibular” joint.

Answer 8

Articular Facet

Question 9

Is round in its mid portion, but is flattened and enlarged at its lower end.

Answer 9

Shaft/Body/Diaphysis

Question 10

Projects down from the medial border of the distal end of the tibia. It forms a large prominence on the medial or inner border of the ankle which is visible and palpable.

Answer 10

Medial Malleolus (Little Hammer)

Question 11

Is a four-sided (quadrilateral) smooth surface on the lower end of the tibia. It articulate with the trochlear surface of the talus.

Answer 11

Distal Articular Surface

Question 12

Is a small depression on the lateral border of the tibia just above the ankle joint. It articulate with the adjacent lower fibula and helps to form the “Distal Tibio-Fibular” joint.

Answer 12

Fibular Notch

Question 13

Is a long slender bone lying lateral to and parallel with the tibia. This bone does not reach the knee joint but forms a small part of the ankle.

Answer 13

Fibula / Calf Bone

Question 14

Parts of Fibula

Answer 14

HSL

Question 15

Is the upper expanded end and articulate with the articular facet of the tibia to form the “Proximal Tibio-Fibular” joint

Answer 15

Head of Fibula

Question 16

Is a long and slender bone.

Answer 16

Shaft/Body of Fibula

Question 17

Is the lower expanded end of the fibula. It, along with the medial malleolus of the tibia forms the “Ankle Mortise”.

Answer 17

Lateral Malleolus
