Question 3

What is the tibial plateau

Question 4

What are the medial and lateral condyles

Answer 4

These are the lateral and medial sides of the tibial plateau surface

Question 5

What is the intercondylar tubercles

Answer 5

These are ridges between the condyles

Question 6

What is the intercondylar tubercles

Answer 6

These are ridges between the condyles

Question 7

What is the tibial tuberosity

Answer 7

This is on the proximal end and is bump under the condyles

Question 8

What is the superior articular facet

Answer 8

Located on the edge of the lateral condyle

Question 9

Where is the anterior crest

Answer 9

This is the ridge that sticks out along the shaft

Question 10

Where is the interosseous crest

Answer 10

This is on the lateral side under the superior articular facet - faces the fibular

Question 11

Where is the soleal line

Answer 11

This is the line down the middle under the tibial plateau but on posterior side

Question 12

Answer 12

This is the projection on the medial side at distal end

Question 13

What is the fibular notch

Answer 13

This is a groove on the distal end corner for the fibular

Question 14

How would you side a tibia
