The tibia is a long bone on the toe side of the calf, which is divided into two ends. The proximal tibia bulges and protrudes to both sides, forming the medial malleolus and lateral condyle. The upper surface of the two condyles is a smooth articular surface, and there is an intercondylar area between the two condyles with an intercondylar protuberance in the middle. There is a rough protuberance in front of the proximal tibia, called tibial tuberosity, which serves as the attachment point of patellar ligament. Behind the lateral condyle, there is a circular fibular articular surface related to the fibular head.

Anterior compartment syndrome of tibia: Anterior compartment syndrome of tibia is a common complication of tibial shaft fracture, which can appear after strenuous activity of lower limbs, and is generally more common in athletes. The swelling of the anterior tibial compartment leads to ischemia of the anterior tibial muscle group, which is generally manifested as anterior tibial pain. In severe cases, swelling will gradually develop and eventually lead to muscle necrosis.
Extensive edema and pain in the leg, bright skin; Tibialis anterior and extensor longus were the first to be affected, unable or unable to extend ankle joints and fingers; The dorsal artery of the foot can't be touched, and the ischemia of the deep peroneal nerve leads to the loss of sensation in the first toe web. It is suggested that high-risk and suspicious cases should be monitored for fascia pressure, and the anterior tibial fascia should be decompressed immediately to avoid muscle necrosis.
