The anterior border is the easily felt and very prominent, boney ridge that runs vertically along the front of the tibia (shin).
tibia has three borders and three surfaces.Borders: anterior border,lateral border,medial border.Surfaces:1)posterior surface(between medial and lateral border)2)lateral surface(between anterior and lateral border)3)medial surface(between anterior and medial border)
This long ridge of the tibia is called the anterior crest or anterior border. See link below:
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.
The shaft of the tibia has a triangular shape. The medial border of the tibia is the place where the medial surface and the posterior surface meet.
The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.
it is located in front on the Tibia in an anterior view
tibialis anterior
Tibialis anterior
The test used to diagnose anterior movement of the tibia in relation to the femur is the anterior drawer test. It is commonly utilized in the evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in the knee joint. During the test, the examiner stabilizes the femur while pulling the tibia forward to assess for excessive anterior translation, which may indicate ligamentous instability.
The ridge on the tibia head is called the tibial tuberosity. It is a bony prominence on the anterior surface of the tibia where the patellar ligament attaches.
All the bones in the human leg are weight bearing except the fibula.
