Proximal Tibia Anatomy
Proximal Tibia - Anterior View
  1. Lateral tibial Plateau: convex, smaller than medial plateau
  2. Lateral intercondylar eminence
  3. Medial intercondylar eminence
  4. Starting point for IM nail
  5. Medial tibial plateau: concave, larger than lateral plateau
  6. Tibial tubercle: insertion of patellar tendon
  7. Tibial shaft
  8. Fibular shaft
  9. Fibular head: Styloid process of fibular head is the incertions of the lateral collateral ligament.
  10. Gerdy's tubercle: insertion site of iliotibial band

Note: Knee joint capsule has posteromedial and posterolateral recesses which extend 15mm distal to the subchondral surface of the tibial plateau.
