Question
**Lower Limb Anatomy Quiz**

**Question:**
Which of the following structures of the lower limb is correctly matched to its description?

**Multiple Choice Options:**
1. Medial malleolus - proximal end of the tibia
2. Greater trochanter - distal shaft of femur
3. Tibial tuberosity - superior to the patella

**Explanation:**
- **Medial malleolus**: This structure is actually at the distal end of the tibia, not the proximal end.
- **Greater trochanter**: This is located at the proximal part of the femur, not the distal shaft.
- **Tibial tuberosity**: This is a prominent structure on the tibia, but it is not located superior to the patella. It is below the patella.

**Selected Answer:**
Option 3 is selected, though this is incorrect as the tibial tuberosity is not superior to the patella.
