Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tibial tuberosity is the bony prominence located on the anterior surface of the proximal tibia. No muscles attach directly on it, but the patellar ligament attaches to it, which in turn attaches to the quadriceps femoris muscle group. The biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus are all muscles of the posterior thigh that attach to the femur and fibula, not the tibial tuberosity.
