It iswavy in outline, rises sharplytowards the centre, and has asUghtly lower level at the outerside of the bone. The epiphyses of the tibia andfibula will be seen in Figs. 191 and192. The epiphyseal line of the tibiaresembles that of the line of thelower end of the femur. The upperepiphysis of the fibula is a smallmass, appearing to rest on the topof the shaft. In a lateral view the epiphy-seal lines of the femur and fibulaThe epiphysis of the upper end of the tibia is seen. Fig. 189.—Foot. Antero-posterior view, plantar aspect of foot on plate.
