Tibial tuberosity

The tibial tuberosity is a prominent bony projection located on the anterior aspect of the tibia, serving as the attachment site for the patellar ligament. Its clinical significance lies in its role in knee stability and function; injuries or conditions affecting this area can lead to pain, dysfunction, or conditions such as Osgood-Schlatter disease, particularly in adolescents engaged in sports that involve running and jumping. Understanding its anatomy is crucial for diagnosing knee-related issues.
