What is an example of a bony landmark?

There are more than one - the tibial tuberosity is just below the knee, the medial malleolus is part of the ankle joint. There are several bony marking on the tibia. These can include the tibial tuberosity, the tibial crest, ans the medial malleolus.


Which pulse you located behind the medial malleolus?

The posterior tibial artery pulse is located behind the medial malleolus, just below the posterior tibial tendon. This pulse can be palpated to assess circulation in the lower extremity.


Does the tibial collateral ligament provide medial or lateral support for the knee?

The tibial collateral ligament provides medial support for the knee. It's also called the medial collateral ligament.


What is the artery above the medial malleolus?

Posterior tibial artery.


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.


Is Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome the same as shin splints?

The best way to find out if Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome is the same as shin splints would be to look the information up in the medical book or ask a doctor.


Briely describe the the location of posterior tibial artery pulses?

The posterior tibial artery pulses are located behind the medial malleolus (ankle bone) on the inner aspect of the ankle. They are usually palpated just below the ankle joint medial to the Achilles tendon. The pulses can be assessed by gently pressing with the fingers to feel the pulsation.


Is the Tibial collateral ligament joined to the joint capsule?

The tibial collateral ligament is also known as the medial collateral ligament and is joint proximally to the Medial Condyle of the femur and distally to the body of the tibia a little bit below the condyle level. No


Where is posterior tibial located?

The posterior tibial artery is located in the lower leg, running along the back of the tibia bone. It branches off from the popliteal artery and travels downwards, posterior to the medial malleolus (the bony prominence on the inner ankle). The artery supplies blood to the posterior compartment of the leg and the plantar surface of the foot. It eventually divides into the medial and lateral plantar arteries.


Point where the patellar ligament attaches?

The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.


Where are the pulses of the foot?

As a very distal location, there are not many palpable pulses in foot. Thou the posterior fibular artery (which passes in the medial posterior part of your anckle) might be felt in cases of high heartbeat frequency


Where is the tibial plateau?

The tibial plateau is located at the upper part of the tibia, which is the larger of the two bones in the lower leg. It forms the flat surface at the knee joint, providing support for the femur (thigh bone) and contributing to the knee's stability and articulation. The tibial plateau consists of two main regions: the medial and lateral condyles, which are important for weight-bearing and movement.
