Proximal Tibia - Anterior View
- Lateral tibial Plateau: convex, smaller than medial plateau
- Lateral intercondylar eminence
- Medial intercondylar eminence
- Starting point for IM nail
- Medial tibial plateau: concave, larger than lateral plateau
- Tibial tubercle: insertion of patellar tendon
- Tibial shaft
- Fibular shaft
- Fibular head: Styloid process of fibular head is the incertions of the lateral collateral ligament.
- Gerdy's tubercle: insertion site of iliotibial band
Note: Knee joint capsule has posteromedial and posterolateral recesses which extend 15mm distal to the subchondral surface of the tibial plateau.
