The tibial plateau is located at the proximal end of the tibia. The upper end of the tibial plateau is enlarged and protrudes to the sides, forming the medial and lateral tibial condyles, respectively, and the medial and lateral tibial condyles each have an epicondylar surface above the femoral condyles, and the rough elevation between the two epicondylar surfaces is called the intercondylar ridge. The lateral tibial condyle is posteriorly and inferiorly associated with the fibular articular surface and the head of the fibula, and the bump in front of the upper end of the tibia is called the tibial ramus. The medial condyle, lateral condyle, and tibial ramus are all palpable on the surface of the body, and the entire structure forms the tibial plateau that supports the body and the weight bearing of the entire lower extremity.
