Osteology of the Leg Flashcards
what is the second largest bone in the body
tibia
tibia is the (medial or lateral) leg bone
medial
is the tibia a long or short bone
long bone
tibia consists of
Proximal extremity
Shaft
Distal Extremity
Tibia articulates with
Femur (knee joint)
Talus (ankle joint)
Fibula (tibiofibular articularion and tibiofibular syndesmosis)
tibial torsion
a measurement of the external torquing of the distal extremity of the tibia with respect to the proximal extremity
tibial torsion angle
between the bimalleolar line (line through the medial and lateral malleolus) and the bicondylar line
bicondylar line
line between the medial and lateral condyles of the tibial plateau
proximal extremity of the tibia expand to form
medial and lateral condyles
superior surface of tibia is called
tibial plateau
medial facet of tibia
egg shaped
lateral facet of tibia
nearly circular in shape
each facet of the tibia is
concave, menisci sit on the periphery, femoral condyles articulate with the center
intercondylar eminence
Is the spine of the tibia
Composed of a medial and lateral tubercle (intercondylar tubercles)
Is located between the 2 facets
anterior intercondylar fossa
is anterior to the intercondylar eminence
posterior intercondylar fossa
is posterior to the intercondylar eminence
tibial tuberosity location
Located on anterior surface of tibia
what muscle inserts onto tibial tuberosity
ligamentum patellae
where are the tubercles are located on the anterior surface of the tibia
Tubercle on the medial condyle
Tubercle on the lateral condyles
another name for tubercle on the lateral condyle of the tibia
Gerdy’s tubercle
transverse groove on the posterior surface of the medial condyle of the tibia is for insertion of what muscle
semimembranosus
medial surface of the tibia is rough for attachments of
capsule of the knee joint and tibial collateral lig
lateral surface of the tibia has an articular facet for
the head of the fibula (fibular articular facet)
describe the shaft of the tibia
triangular in shape in cross section with 3 borders (anterior, medial and lateral or interosseous) and 3 surfaces (M,L,P)
where does the anterior border of the shaft of the tibia begin and end
beings proximally to the tibial tuberosity and ends distally at the anterior border of the medial malleolus on the distal extremity
anterior border of the shaft of the tibia serves for attachments the
deep fascia
where does the medial border of the shaft of the tibia begin and end
begins proximally at the medial condyle and ends distally at the posterior border of the medial malleolus on the distal extremity
medial border of the shaft of the tibia serves as an attachment for
the deep fascia
where does the lateral or interosseous border of the shaft of the tibia begin and end
beings at the fibular facet and ends distally by bifurcating and forming the boundaries of the fibular notch on the distal extremity
lateral or interosseous border of the shaft of the tibia serves as attachment for
interosseous membrane
medial surface of the shaft of the tibia is bounded by
anterior and medial borders
medial surface of the shaft of the tibia serves as an attachment for
Deep fascia
Is subcutaneous
what muscles originate from the medial surface of the shaft of the tibia
NO MUSCLES ORIGINALE FROM MEDIAL SURFACE
what muscles insert on the medial surface of the shaft of the tibia
Sartorius
Gracilis
Semitendinosus
This forms pes anserinus
where does pes anserinus insert
on the superior portion of the medial surface of the shaft of the tibia
lateral surface of the shaft of the tibia is bounded by
the lateral and anterior border
what muscle originates from the lateral surface of the shaft of the tibia
Tibialis anterior
posterior surface of the shaft of the tibia is bounded by
medial and lateral borders
where is the soleal (or popliteal) line located
on the posterior surface of the shaft of the tibia
where does the soleal (or popliteal line) extend from
obliquely from behind the fibular facet to the junction of the upper and middle 1/3 of the shaft
where is the vertical ridge located
on the posterior surface of the shaft of the tibia
