Both bundles insert as a unique tendon on the posterior aspect of the tibia approximately 1–1.5 cm distal to the joint line and their centre is located, medial to lateral, 48 % of the width of the tibial plateau [8].doi:10.1007/978-3-642-29446-4_6Tom Van Hoof...

The tibial plateau is one of the most critical load-bearing areas in the human body; fractures of the plateau affect knee alignment, stability, and motion. Early detection and appropriate treatment of these fractures are critical for minimizing patient d
The ankle is a highly congruent synovial, hinge-type joint, in which the talus fits perfectly into the mortise formed by the tibial plateau, and the tibial and fibular malleoli. This anatomical conformation allows movement through only one axis, the bimalleolar axis, through which dorsiflexion an...
The menisci are two crescent-shaped fibrocartilagenous structures that are found within each knee between the femoral condyles and the tibial plateau (Fig. 1.2.1). For many years, the menisci were considered to be the functionless remains of a leg muscle [31]. Indeed, in his paper in 1942...
Both walls bare indentations that accommodate the attachment of the cruciate ligament arising from the opposite side of the tibial plateau. In other words, the lateral surface of the medial condyle (the medial wall of the intercondylar fossa) serves as the point of attachment for the posterior ...
In cases of the fractured tibia that are not considered stable, the broken bone may have to be surgically repaired and fixated with screws or an external apparatus. Fractures of the shaft of the tibia are often more easily repaired than the complicated fractures of the tibial plateau. Simple ...
These intracapsular knee ligaments prevent dislocation of the joint, but can be commonly injured amongst professional athletes.

The examiner's thumb is never used to take a pulse because its own pulse is likely to be confused with that of the patient. Pressure should be light; if the artery is pressed too hard, the pulse will disappear entirely. The number of beats felt in exactly 1 minute is the pulse rate....
