On the anterior surface toward the upper end of the tibia is the tibial tuberosity which is also an attachment point for the patellar ligament. |
Farther distally around the middle part of the shaft, is the deltoid tuberosity along the lateral border. |
The sacrotuberous ligament is a cartilaginous attachment of the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity. |
A sesamoid bone may develop in the bicipital tendon over the radial tuberosity. |
Radiography of the pelvis showed a non-union of the left ischial tuberosity, with marked displacement of the apophyseal fragment. |
Fractures of the greater tuberosity may be best visualized with an axillary or a Y view. |
