Editing Tibia (section)

==== Borders ====
The '''anterior crest or border''', the most prominent of the three, commences above at the [[tuberosity of the tibia|tuberosity]], and ends below at the anterior margin of the [[Malleolus#Medial malleolus|medial malleolus]]. It is sinuous and prominent in the upper two-thirds of its extent, but smooth and rounded below; it gives attachment to the [[deep fascia]] of the leg.

The '''medial border''' is smooth and rounded above and below, but more prominent in the center. It begins at the back part of the medial condyle, and ends at the posterior border of the medial malleolus; its upper part gives attachment to the tibial collateral ligament of the knee-joint to the extent of about 5&nbsp;cm., and insertion to some fibers of the [[popliteus muscle]]. From its middle third some fibers of the [[soleus muscle|soleus]] and [[flexor digitorum longus muscles]] take origin.

The '''interosseous crest or lateral border''' is thin and prominent, especially its central part, and gives attachment to the [[interosseous membrane]]; it commences above in front of the fibular articular facet, and bifurcates below, to form the boundaries of a triangular rough surface, for the attachment of the interosseous ligament connecting the tibia and fibula.
