Tibial plateau
The tibial plateau is the flattened upper surface of the tibial bone (shinbone), where it makes contact with the rounded ends (condyles) of the femur (thighbone).
Tibial plateau fracture
A tibial plateau fracture is a bone break through the flat top end of the shin bone (tibia). Page updated January 2024 by Dr Sheila Strover (Clinical Editor)
Tibial spine
The tibial spine is a raised area of bone in the middle of the tibial plateau, and related to the attachment of the cruciate ligaments.
Tibial torsion
Tibial torsion is a condition where the tibia bone is abnormally twisted, often leading to problems with kneecap pain. Page updated May 2024 by Dr Sheila Strover (Clinical Editor)
Tibial tubercle avulsion
Tibial tubercle avulsion is when the attachment of the patellar tendon to the tibia is torn off, together with a fragment of bone.
Tibial tuberosity
The tibial tuberosity or tibial tubercle is the bony lump on the shin below the kneecap (patella) where the patellar tendon attaches. Page updated June 2024 by Dr Sheila Strover (Clinical Editor)
Tibial tuberosity transfer
Tibial tuberosity transfer (TTT) includes a group of surgical procedures to improve the tracking of the patella in its underlying groove. Page updated June 2024 by Dr Sheila Strover (Clinical Editor)
Tibial tunnel
The tibial tunnel refers to the drill hole on the tibia through which a replacement anterior cruciate ligament is threaded during an ACL reconstruction.
Tibiofemoral joint
The tibiofemoral joint is the junction of the tibia bone (shinbone) with the femur bone (thighbone). Page updated May 2024 by Dr Sheila Strover (Clinical Editor)
Tibiofibular ligaments
The tibiofibular ligaments stabilise the joint at the top of the fibula where the fibula forms a synovial joint with the tibia.
