The superior tibiofibular articulation is an arthrodial joint between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the head of the fibula. The inferior tibiofibular articulation (tibiofibular syndesmosis) is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the lower end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia.
The distal end of the femur articulates with the tibia in the lower leg and the patella or knee cap. The tibia below does not articulate with the patella. Between the condyles is the patellar surface that articulates with the patella or knee cap. These landmarks are important attachments for ligaments and muscles which will be discussed later in this unit. Another important anatomical component of the knee are the menisci.
