  2. Interosseous membrane of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interosseous_membrane_of_leg

    It is broader above than below. Its upper margin does not quite reach the tibiofibular joint, but presents a free concave border, above which is a large, oval aperture for the passage of the anterior tibial vessels to the front of the leg. In its lower part is an opening for the passage of the anterior peroneal vessels.

  3. Anterior ligament of the head of the fibula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_ligament_of_the...

    The anterior ligament of the head of the fibula (anterior superior ligament) consists of two or three broad and flat bands, which pass obliquely upward from the front of the head of the fibula to the front of the lateral condyle of the tibia.

  4. Inferior tibiofibular joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_tibiofibular_joint

    The inferior tibiofibular joint, also known as the distal tibiofibular joint (tibiofibular syndesmosis), is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the distal end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia.

  5. Fibula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibula

    The superior tibiofibular articulation is an arthrodial joint between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the head of the fibula. The inferior tibiofibular articulation (tibiofibular syndesmosis) is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the lower end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia.

  6. Superior tibiofibular joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_tibiofibular_joint

    The superior tibiofibular articulation (also called proximal tibiofibular joint) is an arthrodial joint between the lateral condyle of tibia and the head of the fibula.. The contiguous surfaces of the bones present flat, oval facets covered with cartilage and connected together by an articular capsule and by anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.

  7. Tibia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibia

    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. The ossification or formation of the bone starts from three centers, one in the shaft and one in each extremity.

  8. Maisonneuve fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maisonneuve_fracture

    X-ray, CT, or MRI scans can be used to diagnose the extent of the Maisonneuve fracture's damage and determine whether it is a simple or comminution fracture. [8] During diagnosis, a supination-external rotation pattern of injury may also be concluded if there is an isolated fracture of the posterior tubercle of the tibia.

  9. Anterior tibiofibular ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_tibiofibular_ligament

    The anterior ligament of the lateral malleolus (anterior tibiofibular ligament or anterior inferior ligament) is a flat, trapezoidal band of fibers, broader below than above, which extends obliquely downward and lateralward between the adjacent margins of the tibia and fibula, on the front aspect of the syndesmosis.
