The upper extremity or is of an irregular quadrate form, presenting above a flattened articular surface, directed upward, forward, and medialward, for articulation with a corresponding surface on the
Lateral Condyle of the
Tibia .
On the lateral side is a thick and rough prominence continued behind into a pointed eminence, the
Apex (''styloid process''), which projects upward from the posterior part of the head.
The prominence, at its upper and lateral part, gives attachment to the
Tendon of the
Biceps Femoris and to the fibular collateral ligament of the knee-joint, the
Ligament dividing the tendon into two parts.
The remaining part of the circumference of the head is rough, for the attachment of
Muscle s and ligaments.
It presents in front a
Tubercle for the origin of the upper and anterior fibers of the
Peronæus Longus , and a surface for the attachment of the anterior ligament of the head; and behind, another tubercle, for the attachment of the posterior ligament of the head and the origin of the upper fibers of the
Soleus .
