What is the location of the hamstring distal attachment in the human body?
The hamstring distal attachment in the human body is located on the tibia, which is the larger bone in the lower leg.
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 are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.

What is the name of the joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia that the patella overlaps?
The joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia where the patella overlaps is called the knee joint. It is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension of the leg.
What bone is the semimembranosus connected to?
The semimebranosus is part of the hamstring group and originates at the ischial tuberosity and inserts into the proximal tibia.
What is the location of the hamstring distal attachment in the human body?
The hamstring distal attachment in the human body is located on the tibia, which is the larger bone in the lower leg.
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.
What are the anatomically correct names for the hamstring?
The biceps femoris runs down the outside of the leg and inserts on the head of the fibula, the semitendinosus runs down the inside of the leg and inserts on the front of the tibia and the semimembranosus runs down the inside of the leg underneath the semitendinosus and inserts on the front of the tibia as well.
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 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 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 are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
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 tibia located inferior to the patellla?
The proper terminology is that the tibia is distal to the patella.
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.
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.
