? Soleal line- it is an oblique line running from above (in front of fibular

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


facet) downwards and medially to the medial border. It is divides the
surface into the upper triangular area and a lower area.

? Attachments:

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---


1. Fascia covering popliteus

2. soleus.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? A faint vertical line below soleal line divides the surface into medial

and lateral parts.

1. Flexor digitorum longus arises from the medial part.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


2. Tibialis posterior arises from the lateral part.

? Lower ? of this surface has no muscular attachments but is related

surface of the shaft. Separated from the inferior surface

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

by a sharp margin which gives attachment to capsular
ligament of ankle joint.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

of tibialis posterior. Lateral to this groove lies the
posterior tibial vessels and tibial nerves and the tendon of
flexor hallucis longus.

-fibular ligament which keeps lower ends of two bones in
strong apposition.
