DescriptionUnreviewed
The shaft or body of the tibia is triangular in cross-section and forms three borders: An anterior, medial and lateral or interosseous border.
These three borders form three surfaces; the medial, lateral and posterior.
The forward flat part of the tibia is called the fibia, often confused with the fibula.
