Q. Which among these is not a part of tibia bone?
a. Plafond
b. Plateau
c. Eminence
d. Gerdy tubercle
e. Adductor tubercle
Answer-
e
The plateau are flat articular region of proximal tibia on either side of tibial eminence or tibial spine. There are thus medial and lateral tibia plateau. The plafond is distal tibial articular portion. ( see image). So first three options are part of proximal tibia.
Gerdy tubercle is situated at lateral aspect of tibia and is attachment site for iliotibial band.
Adductor tubercle, however, is part of distal femur above medial cobdyle and is associated with attachment for fibres of adductor magnus. This is important clinical/surgical landmark.
