Quadriceps muscles are attached to the tibia via patella. Patella is a sesamoid bone. On the other the three of the four muscles are attached to the femur bone. Rectus femoris is attached to the hip bone as well. So it can act on hip bone also. Other way round it can take support of hip bone to act on tibia. Other three muscles are specially designed to act on tibia bone only. They are originated from femur bone.
