The tibialis posterior muscle originates on the inner posterior borders of the tibia and fibula. Each true leg has seven segments&colon; coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus, and tarsus. The patellar ligament connects the patella to the tuberosity of the tibia. The medial malleolus is a bony process extending distally off the medial tibia. The femur is larger than the tibia. Muscles inserting on the tibia and fibula have longer moment arms. It is also attached to the interosseous membrane, which attaches to the tibia and fibula. The fibula is longer and slenderer than the tibia. The terminal insertion point lies on the lateral condyle of the tibia. The medial malleolus is found at the foot end of the tibia. He suffered a displaced compound fracture of his right tibia. It consists of a complete right tibia or shinbone. He suffered a season-ending fracture of his right tibia. The PCL gets its name by attaching to the posterior portion of the tibia. These compensations include internal rotation of the tibia, knee and hip joints.
