Abstract:
Lesions of the tibial tuberosity are very rare but often present a diagnostic dilemma due to their unusual location and appearances. Although some pathologies affecting this region are commonly seen elsewhere in the skeleton, they may have atypical imaging appearances and morphological characteristics when present at the tibial tuberosity. The present review describes the developmental stages of the tibial tuberosity, explaining why this area is prone to degenerative tractional changes and injury, and also highlights various pathologies including benign and malignant osseous lesions and trauma/degenerative related abnormalities.

Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...
