| spinous process of tibia | Intercondyloid eminence, an elevation on the proximal extremity of the tibia between the two articular surfaces. Synonym: eminentia intercondylaris, eminentia intercondyloidea, spinous process of tibia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nutrient artery of the tibia | Artery derived from the upper part of the posterior tibial artery; it enters through the nutrient foramen on the posterior surface of the tibia. Synonym: arteria nutriens tibialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior articular surface of tibia | The articular surface on the proximal end of the tibia that is divided into medial and lateral portions for articulation with the condyles of the femur. Synonym: facies articularis superior tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior articular surface of tibia | The quadrilateral surface on the distal end of the tibia for articulation with the talus; it is concave anteroposteriorly and broader anteriorly. Synonym: facies articularis inferior tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous border of tibia | The ridge along the lateral border of the tibia to which is attached the interosseous membrane. Synonym: margo interosseus tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tibia | <anatomy> The large bone between the knee and foot that supports 5/6 of the body weight (fibula supports 1/6). (27 Sep 1997) |
| tibia valga | A deformity marked by lateral angulation of the leg in relation to the thigh. Synonym: knock-knee, tibia valga. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tibia vara | <radiology> (Blount disease) Common, causes bowlegs in kids, possibly due to ischemic necrosis, associated with early walking Findings: bilateral tibia vara (bowleggedness), abnormal medial aspect of proximal tibia, small epiphysis, beaked metaphysis (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibular articular surface of tibia | The flat circular articular facet on the inferior and lateral aspect of the lateral condyle of the tibia for articulation with the head of the fibula. Synonym: facies articularis fibularis tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral condyle of tibia | The lateral condyle is longer than the medial condyle. Synonym: condylus lateralis tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| adrenal hyperplasia, congenital | A group of inherited disorders of adrenal steroidogenesis, the physical expression of which varies with the sex of the patient, the severity of the congenital enzyme defect, and the age at which the defect makes its presence felt. The most common form, the simple virilizing form, is due to a 21-hydroxylase deficiency. There is also a salt-losing form (a more complete 21-hydroxylase deficiency), a hypertensive form (11-hydroxylase deficiency), a 17-hydroxylase deficiency form, a desmolase deficiency form, and a 3-beta-hydroxysteroid deficiency form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaemia, dyserythropoietic, congenital | A familial disorder characterised by anaemia with multinuclear erythroblasts, karyorrhexis, asynchrony of nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, and various nuclear abnormalities of bone marrow erythrocyte precursors. Type II is the most common of the 3 types of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia; it is often referred to as hempas, based on the hereditary erythroblast multinuclearity with positive acidified serum test. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaemia, haemolytic, congenital | Haemolytic anaemia due to various intrinsic defects of the erythrocyte. (12 Dec 1998) |
