Medial condyle of tibia. Upper surface of right tibia. (Anterior is at top.) The medial condyle is the medial (or inner) portion of the upper extremity of tibia. It is the site of insertion for the semimembranosus muscle.
The medial condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of femur, the other being the lateral condyle. The medial condyle is larger than the lateral (outer) condyle due to more weight bearing caused by the centre of mass being medial to the knee. On the posterior surface of the condyle the linea aspera (a ridge with two lips ...
Upper surface of right tibia. (Anterior is at top.) Knee. The proximal or upper extremity of the tibia is expanded in the transverse plane with a medial and lateral condyle, which are both flattened in the horizontal plane. The medial condyle is the larger of the two and is better supported over the shaft.
Articular surfaces of femur Articular surfaces of tibia. The knee is a modified hinge joint, a type of synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the patellofemoral articulation, consisting of the patella, or "kneecap", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides; and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral articulations linking the femur, or ...
Medial knee injuries (those to the inside of the knee) are the most common type of knee injury. [1] The medial ligament complex of the knee consists of: [2] This complex is the major stabilizer of the medial knee. Injuries to the medial side of the knee are most commonly isolated to these ligaments. [1][3] A thorough understanding of the ...
Lateral condyle of femur. Lower extremity of right femur viewed from below. Left knee-joint from behind, showing interior ligaments. The lateral condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of the femur. The other one is the medial condyle. The lateral condyle is the more prominent and is broader both in its front-to-back and ...
Lateral aspect of right leg. (Tuberosity of tibia labeled at center right.) Upper surface of right tibia. (Tuberosity labeled at top.) The tuberosity of the tibia, tibial tuberosity or tibial tubercle is an elevation on the proximal, anterior aspect of the tibia, just below where the anterior surfaces of the lateral and medial tibial condyles end.
Lateral condyle of tibia. Upper surface of right tibia. (Anterior is at top.) The lateral condyle is the lateral portion of the upper extremity of tibia. [1] It serves as the insertion for the biceps femoris muscle (small slip). Most of the tendon of the biceps femoris inserts on the fibula.
