Tibia

The tibia, commonly known as the shinbone, is a large, weight-bearing bone located in the lower leg, connecting the knee to the ankle. It provides structural support for the leg and helps facilitate movement such as walking, running, and jumping. The tibia also plays a crucial role in forming the knee joint with the femur and the ankle joint with the bones of the foot. It’s one of the strongest bones in the body, susceptible to fractures from significant trauma, and vital for maintaining leg stability and mobility.
