Located on the anteromedial side of the legSecond largest bone in the body Flares outward at both ends to provide an increased area for articulation and
weight transfer.
TIBIA

Shaft of tibia

medial malleolus
Interosseous membrane unites the two leg bones.
Inferiorly, the sharp border is replaced by fibular notch.
Distal end of tibia

Largest sesamoid bone (a bone formed within the tendon of a muscle) in the body and is formed within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle as it crosses anterior to the knee joint to insert on the tibia. The patella is triangular:
Apex is pointed inferiorly for attachment to the patellar ligament, which connects the patella to the tibia.Base is broad and thick for the attachment of the quadriceps femoris muscle from above.Posterior surface articulates with the femur and has medial and lateral facets, lateral facet is larger than the medial facet for articulation with the larger corresponding surface on the lateral condyle of the femur.

Slender, lies posterolateral to the tibia No function in weight-bearing.Serves mainly for muscle attachment
FIBULA
![Page 14: Bones of the Lower Limb](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56816763550346895ddc3ed8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Head (& a pointed apex) Articulates with the fibular facet on the posterolateral, inferior aspect of the lateral tibial condyle.Neck
Like the shaft of the tibia,
3 borders (anterior, interosseous, & posterior) 3 surfaces(medial, posterior, and lateral)
Proximal end & shaft of fibula

Distal end of fibula
Distal end enlarges, projects laterally & inferiorly lateral malleolus
more prominent and posterior than the medial malleolus extends approximately 1 cm more distally.

BONES OF FOOT

7 bonesTalusCalcaneusCuboidNavicularThree cuneiforms
Only one bone, the talus, articulates with the leg bones.

HeadNeckBody
Superior surface trochlea of the talus is gripped by the two malleoli and receives the weight of the body from the tibia.
TALUS(L., ankle bone)
![Page 22: Bones of the Lower Limb](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56816763550346895ddc3ed8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Talus transmits weight in turn, dividing it between the calcaneus, on which the body of talus rests, and the forefoot, via an osseoligamentous “hammock”
Hammock (Spring ligament;Calcenonavicular ligament) Across a gap between sustentaculum tali and navicular bone, lies anteriorly.

Largest and strongest bone in the foot Lateral surface of the calcaneus has fibular trochleaSustentaculum tali shelf-like support of the head of the talus
Calcaneus(L., heel bone)
