ARTICLES RELATED TO Tibia - The upper extremity | | | |  Tibia - The upper extremity: Encyclopedia II - Tibia - The upper extremity('proximal extremity') The upper extremity is large, and expanded into two eminences, the medial and lateral condyles. The superior articular surface presents two smooth articular facets [Fig. 1].
The medial facet, oval in shape, is slightly concave from side to side, and from before backward.
The lateral, nearly circular, is concave from side to side, but slightly convex from before backward, especially at its posterior part, where it is prolonged on to the p ...

| | | | Tibia - The upper extremity: Encyclopedia II - Tibia - Ossification The tibia is ossified from three centers : one for the body and one for either extremity. Ossification begins in the center of the body, about the seventh week of fetal life, and gradually extends toward the extremities.
The center for the upper epiphysis appears before or shortly after birth; it is flattened in form, and has a thin tongue-shaped process in front, which forms the tuberosity [Fig. 4]; that for the lower epiphysis appears in the second year.
The lower epiphysis joins the body at about the eighteenth, and the upp ...

| | | | Tibia - The upper extremity: Encyclopedia II - Tibia - The body or shaft ('corpus tibiæ') The body has three borders and three surfaces.
Tibia - Borders.
The anterior crest or border, the most prominent of the three, commences above at the tuberosity, and ends below at the anterior margin of the medial malleolus. It is sinuous and prominent in the upper two-thirds of its extent, but smooth and rounded below; it gives attachment to the deep fascia of the leg.
The medial border is smooth and rounded above and below, but more prominent in the center; i ...

| | | | Tibia - The upper extremity: Encyclopedia II - Tibia - The lower extremity ('distal extremity') The lower extremity, much smaller than the upper, presents five surfaces; it is prolonged downward on its medial side as a strong process, the medial malleolus.
Tibia - Surfaces.
The inferior articular surface is quadrilateral, and smooth for articulation with the talus. It is concave from before backward, broader in front than behind, and traversed from before backward by a slight elevation, separating two depressions. It is ...
