Between the lateral condyle and trochlea is the extensor fossa (Fossa extensoria), in which the common tendon of origin of the extensor digitalis longus and peroneus tertius is attached. Development.—The shaft and the distal end each ossify from one center, but the proximal end has two centers, one of which is for the head and the other for the trochanter major. The Sdge of the trochanter tertius also has a separate center. The proximal end fuses with the shaft at three to three and a half years, the distal at about three and a half years. THE TIBIA The tibia is a long bone which extends obliquely downward and backward from the stifle to the hock. It articulates above with the femur, below with the tarsus, and laterally with the fibula. It possesses a shaft and two extremities. The shaft (Corpus tibiae), large and three-sided above, becomes smaller and flattened in the sagittal direction below, but witlens at the distal end. It presents for notice three surfaces and three Ijorders. The medial surface (Fades medialis) is broad above, where it presents rough prominences for the attachment of the.
