<P> The most prominent tubercle of the tibia , a leg bone which is more commonly known as the shinbone or shankbone , is the tibial tuberosity . The tibial tuberosity is located on the tibia 's anterior surface , distal to the medial condyle . It creates a bony prominence just below the patella , and can be easily located with the fingers . It creates an attachment point for the ligamentum patellae , or patellar ligament . Other tubercles of the tibia include the medial intercondylar tubercle , the lateral intercondylar tubercle , and Gerdy 's tubercle . </P>
