| apophysitis tibialis adolescentium | <disease> A common knee disorder in teenage boys, results from the chronic avulsion of the tibial tubercle, a bony prominence on the tibia. Symptoms include knee pain with range of motion, especially against resistance. Knee pain is often worse after prolonged physical activity. (27 Sep 1997) |

| arteria recurrens tibialis anterior | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the anterior tibial artery which ascends to supply the front and sides of the knee joint, thus contributing to the articular network of the knee. Synonym: arteria recurrens tibialis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria tibialis anterior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; branches, posterior and anterior tibial recurrent, lateral and medial anterior malleolar, dorsalis pedis, lateral tarsal, medial tarsal, arcuate, dorsal metatarsal, and dorsal digital. Synonym: arteria tibialis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
