Anatomy | Specific Parts of the Tibia & Fibula [+ Left vs. Right]

The video tutorial covers the anatomy of the tibia and fibula, focusing on their major bony features. It explains how to identify the left and right tibia by examining the tibial tuberosity, anterior crest, and medial malleolus. The fibula is described as the lateral bone with features like the lateral malleolus. The tutorial also discusses the interosseous membrane connecting the tibia and fibula, similar to the radius and ulna in the arm.

Which bone is always the medial bone in the leg?

• Tibia

• Femur

• Fibula

• Patella

What is the function of the articular surfaces on the tibial condyles?

• To attach muscles

• To connect with the femur

• To support the fibula

• To form the ankle joint

What is the significance of the tibial tuberosity?

• It forms part of the knee joint

• It connects the tibia to the fibula

• It is a site for blood vessel attachment

• It serves as the origin of the tibialis anterior muscle

What is the anterior crest of the tibia also known as?

• Lateral crest

• Anterior margin

• Posterior margin

• Medial border

What is the name of the structure that connects the tibia and fibula?

• Styloid process

• Interosseous membrane

• Medial malleolus

• Lateral malleolus

What is the lateral malleolus a feature of?

• Femur

• Fibula

• Patella

• Tibia

How can you determine if a tibia is from the right leg?

• The lateral malleolus is towards the midline

• The anterior crest is on the posterior side

• The medial malleolus is on the lateral side

• The anterior crest is on the anterior side and the medial malleolus is towards the midline
