Is the lateral malleolus distal end of the tibia?
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
What do they mean when they say that the distal articulation of the tibia and fibula?
The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula means the place where the tibia and fibula form a joint at the end of the bones farthest from the origin of the limb. The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula is with the talus.
Does the calcaneous articulate with the distal end of the tibia?
The distal tibia articulates with the talus. The proximal tibia articulates with the femur.
What joint is at the distal tibia and fibula?
The distal tibia and fibula both articulate with the talus. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
What distal ends of the tibia and fibula are called the?
The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are the malleoli (singular malleolus). These are familiar as the bumps at your ankle.
Is the patella distal to the tibia?
The more commonly known kneecap sits on the top (anterior) side of our tibia (shinbone), the largest and weight-bearing bone of the lower leg.
Is the tibia located inferior to the patellla?
The proper terminology is that the tibia is distal to the patella.
What kind of joint is found between the distal tibia and fibula?
The joint between the distal tibia and fibula is a syndesmosis. It does not allow for much movement.
What is sclerosis of the distal tibia?
Sclerosis is abnormal hardening of the bone. The distal tibia is the part of the larger lower leg bone closest to the ankle.
What is the most superior of the tarsals and articulates with the distal end of the tibia?
The talus is the most superior of the tarsals. It forms a joint with the distal end of the tibia.
Distal process on medial tibial surface?
The distal process on the medial tibial surface is the "medial malleolus".
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
