ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The tibia is the bigger of the two bones in your lower leg. The other is the fibula (calf bone). The tibia runs from just under your knee to your ankle. It’s closer to the inside of your body (medial) than the fibula.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tibia is the shinbone, the larger of the two bones in the lower leg. The top of the tibia connects to the knee joint and the bottom connects to the ankle joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tibia is one of two bones that comprise the leg. As the weight-bearing bone, it is significantly larger and stronger than its counterpart, the fibula. The tibia forms the knee joint proximally with the femur and forms the ankle joint distally with the fibula and talus.

Detailed explanation-4: -In human anatomy, the tibia is the second largest bone next to the femur. As in other vertebrates the tibia is one of two bones in the lower leg, the other being the fibula, and is a component of the knee and ankle joints.

Detailed explanation-5: -The femur is the longest bone in the body. In fact, it’s the longest of all the long bones (which also include the tibia, fibula, metatarsals, and phalanges in the lower limb and the humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges in the upper limb). Did you know?
