The body is divided into left and right sides and the arms and legs themselves are on one or the other of those two sides. If you run your hand down your inner thigh, that is where the tibia is. You can see that left and right can't describe where it is.
The line (midline) that divides the body then, is a reference point for saying where the bones in the arms and legs are to each other. We use lateral (to the side) or medial (toward the midline). In each leg, the tibia is medial to the fibula.
