The tibia (Fig. 165)
The upper end of the tibia is expanded into the medial and lateral condyles,
the former having the greater surface area of the two. Between the condyles
is the intercondylar area which bears, at its waist, the intercondylar eminence,
projecting upwards slightly on either side as the medial and lateral inter-
condylar tubercles.
