Tibia External

The tibia is a long cylindrical bone located in the lower leg area. On the medial side it passes into the patella, the outside is covered with skin and the tunica albuginea is attached to its center in front. At the back, its surface merges with the inner surface of the lower thigh bone. In the middle third of the tibia there are several protrusions and roughnesses; the nerve and blood vessels pass here, providing the connection between the surface of the periosteum of the tibia and the wall of the knee joint. The quadriceps tendons pass through it and attach to the patella. They surround the patella



The outer tibia (os tibiale externum) is a large tubular bone that is located between the thigh and lower leg. It is the main support of the foot and plays an important role in maintaining balance and movement.

The tibia is cylindrical in shape and consists of two main parts: the body and the neck. The body of the tibia is located under the kneecap and connects to the femur. The neck passes into the head, which connects to the foot. There are five perpendicular ridges on the body of the bone: anterior, posterior, lateral, medial and superior. They help hold muscles and ligaments in place and provide stability to the foot.

The outside of the tibial crest has a convexity called the protuberance of Bertse. The ridge helps secure the foot and prevents it from becoming too loose.



The tibia is located at the bottom of the leg and is one of the largest bones in the human body. It connects the leg to the femur. The tibia is a long tubular bone that consists of three parts: distal (end), middle and proximal. The top of the bone is most often the boundary between the proximal and distal sections. In the middle part there is the head of the tibia and the epicondyle of the femur. In the upper part there is the trochanteric fossa, or rough fossa. The middle bone has a metaphysis - the middle region, a pituitary gland - the lower part of the crest, a terminal - the apex and a head part located in the center of the metaphysis. The main function of the tibia is to support and transmit forces from the femur to the torso during movement. To do this, it is strengthened by muscle fibers, which gives the bone a certain strength and flexibility.

The outer tibia consists of several parts - the inner and outer edges, the upper and lower condyle and the lower ridge. It supports and guides the articular surface of the tibia and tibia. It comes into contact with the body of the bone at the small joint. Between the upper part of the tibia and the trabeculae there is an interosseous membrane
