The cartilage surface on the top of the outside (lateral side) of the shinbone is left intact.
The wires usually outline a triangle form in the shinbone.
Guide wires are drilled into the top of the shinbone (tibia plateau) from the outside (lateral side) of the knee.
The shinbone, or "tibia", is relatively straight, slightly curving inwards.
He suffered several injuries, including a knee operation and two shinbone injuries.
Similarly, in the lower leg, structures near the tibia (shinbone) are tibial and structures near the fibula are fibular (or peroneal).
The robust shinbone is shorter than the thighbone.
Placing the finger straight across the shinbone or nose for the fourth aicme mimics the later, manuscript form of the letters.
