The upper boundary of the leg is a line drawn immediately below thetuberosities of the tibia, the lower boundary is formed by the the anterior aspect is the prominent anterior border and internalsurface of the tibia, which lie just beneath the skin, so that the tibia canbe felt along its entire length from the tuberosities to the malleoli. Os-teomyelitis (acute suppurative) occurs quite frequently in the tibia andcan be well located on account of the exposed position of the Fig. 149.—Tabetic knee-joint. The illustration shows the enormous enlargementof the lower end of the femur as a result of trophic disturbances and the ability to produceabnormal abduction in the knee-joint. 467
