where is the tibia bone

The tibia is the long bone in the front of your lower leg, commonly called the shinbone. It runs from just below your knee down to your ankle on the inner (medial) side of your leg.

Quick Scoop: Where is the tibia bone?

• It’s in the lower leg , between the knee and the ankle.

• It sits at the front of the leg and is the bone you feel when you bump your shin.

• You have one tibia in each leg.

• It lies on the inner/medial side of the leg, with the thinner fibula on the outer (lateral) side.

• It connects with the femur at the knee and with the ankle bones (fibula and talus) at the bottom.

Think of your lower leg: the big, hard bone you feel right under the skin at the front of your shin—that’s the tibia.
