where is your tibia bone

The tibia is your shin bone, located in the lower leg between your knee and your ankle, at the front and slightly toward the inner side of your leg.

Quick Scoop: Where Is Your Tibia Bone?

• It runs from just below your knee joint down to your ankle joint.

• It’s the bigger, thicker of the two lower-leg bones (the other one is the fibula, which sits on the outer side of your leg).

• When you bump your “shin” on a table, that sharp pain is usually from hitting your tibia, because it’s right under the skin along the front of the lower leg.

A simple way to picture it:
If you put your hand on the front of your lower leg and slide it from your knee down toward your foot, that long hard ridge you feel under the skin is your tibia.
