Editing Tibia (section)

====Surfaces====
The ''anterior surfaces'' of the condyles are continuous with one another, forming a large somewhat flattened area; this area is triangular, broad above, and perforated by large vascular foramina; narrow below where it ends in a large oblong elevation, the '''tuberosity of the tibia''', which gives attachment to the [[patellar ligament]]; a [[Bursa (anatomy)|bursa]] intervenes between the deep surface of the ligament and the part of the bone immediately above the tuberosity.

''Posteriorly,'' the condyles are separated from each other by a shallow depression, the '''posterior intercondyloid fossa''', which gives attachment to part of the [[posterior cruciate ligament]] of the [[knee-joint]]. The medial condyle presents posteriorly a deep transverse groove, for the insertion of the tendon of the [[semimembranosus]].

Its ''medial surface'' is convex, rough, and prominent; it gives attachment to the [[medial collateral ligament]].

The lateral condyle presents posteriorly a flat articular facet, nearly circular in form, directed downward, backward, and lateralward, for articulation with the head of the fibula. Its ''lateral surface'' is convex, rough, and prominent in front: on it is an eminence, situated on a level with the upper border of the tuberosity and at the junction of its anterior and lateral surfaces, for the attachment of the [[iliotibial band]]. Just below this a part of the [[extensor digitorum longus]] takes origin and a slip from the tendon of the [[biceps femoris]] is inserted.
