To describe:

The primary function of the tibia.

Concept introduction:

Tibia is also commonly known as the “shinbone”. It is one of the two bones present in the leg below the knee. It is larger than fibula and connects the knee with ankle bones. Tibia and fibula are connected by an interosseous ligament that stabilizes the positions of these two bones. It also provides a pivot for minimal rotation of these bones.
