unusual facts about tibia



Alan Embree

On July 10, 2009, Embree's right tibia was broken after he was struck in the leg by a line drive off the bat of Atlanta Brave Martín Prado.

Aletopelta

The skeleton including femora, tibiae, fibulae and incomplete parts of a scapula, humerus, ulna, left and right ischium, vertebrae, ribs, partial armor over the pelvic girdle plus at least 60 detached armor plates and 8 teeth was found in the Late Cretaceous (Upper Campanian) marine Point Loma Formation, near Carlsbad, California.

Anoplosaurus

Harry Govier Seeley named this genus in 1879 for a disarticulated partial postcranial skeleton that had been uncovered at Reach, Cambridgeshire, composed of a left dentary fragment, numerous vertebrae from the neck, back, and sacrum, parts of the pectoral girdle, humerus fragments, part of the left femur, left tibia, foot bones, ribs, and other fragments.

Charlie Davies

The accident killed a 22-year old woman who was in the car with Davies, while Davies himself suffered a lacerated bladder, fractured right tibia and femur, a fractured elbow, multiple facial fractures, and bleeding on the brain.

Ian Hillier

In September 2008 Hillier broke his leg in three places in an accident while working in his day job as a tree surgeon when a falling branch struck his leg, breaking his tibia, fibula and ankle.

Lisker's sign

Lisker's sign is a clinical sign in which there is tenderness when the front, middle (anteromedial) part of the tibia is percussed.

Palpada megafemur

Its coxae and trochanters are black; its femora is black except becoming brownish to orange on its apical 1/4, and shiny except for the mesofemur, which is sparsely gray on its apical 2/3; tibiae are orange; tarsi are orange.

Ponerosteus

It was renamed Ponerosteus exogyrarum (species name amended) by George Olshevsky in 2000; however, the taxon is considered a nomen dubium by most, as the type material is extremely poor, being apparently an internal cast of a tibia from an animal that may or may not be a dinosaur.

Rich Seubert

During a game against Philadelphia in October 2003, Seubert was blocking when his opponent N. D. Kalu stepped on the back of his right leg, breaking Seubert's tibia, fibula, and ankle.

Sébastien Frey

In the battle, Frey gets a blunt trauma to the tibia that does stay out of the playing fields for a few months, forcing the sports director purple Pantaleo Corvino to return to the market to hire a replacement, then signed Bogdan Lobonț.

Xyelidae

The family is characterized by the appendages of the head, which are remarkable in that the antennae and palpi are nearly leg-like in structure, with a long basal segment followed by a series of tiny segments, as in the tibia-tarsus.
