100

This ridge begins at the tibial tuberosity and runs down the front of the tibia

Anterior Border 

100

The fibula does not articulate with this part of the knee

The Femur

100

The tibia and fibula are connected along their lengths by this structure

Interosseous Membrane

100

This muscle inserts at the tibial tuberosity via the patellar tendon

Quadriceps Femoris

100

The tibia does not articulate with this sesamoid bone

Patella 

200

These two tubercles form the intercondylar eminence

Medial and Lateral Intercondylar Tubercles 

200

This structure at the distal end forms the outer bump of the ankle

Lateral Malleolus

200

The proximal tibiofibular joint is this type of joint

Synovial Joint

200

Gerdy's Tubercle is the insertion point for this structure

Iliotibial Band (IT Band) 

200

This structure lies between the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia

Intercondylar Eminence 

300

This surface articulates with the talus at the ankle

Tibial Plafond (inferior surface) 

300

This nerve wraps around the neck of the fibula and is vulnerable to injury

Common Fibular (Peroneal) Nerve

300

The distal tibiofibular joint is classified as this type of joint

Fibrous (Syndesmosis) Joint

300

The semimembranosus muscle attaches here on the posterior tibia

Medial Condyle 

300

The tibia and fibular begin ossifying in this stage of life

Fetal Life 

6th - 7th month

400

This structure provides an attachment site for the patellar ligament 

Tibial Tuberosity 

400

These are the three boarders of the fibular shaft

Anterior, Posterior & Interosseous Borders 

400

This tibial feature helps form the ankle mortise

Medial Malleolus

400

The pes anserinus is formed by the insertion of these THREE muscles

Sartorius, Gracilis & SemiTendinosus 

400

The distal fibular projection is also known as this

Lateral Malleolus

500

Name the pathology

Osgood-Schlatter Disease

500

Name the structure indicated by the red block

Peroneus Longus

500

Name this structure of the talus


Trochlea

500
