From: Anatomical basis of the support of fibula to tibial plateau and its clinical significance
Coronal P45 section of the knee joint (through the tibiofibular joint). In the lateral condyle of the tibia, the trabeculae above the fibular head are tiny and sparsely reticulated, accounting for about one-quarter of the width of the lateral condyle. The thicker, longitudinally arranged trabeculae can be seen between the articular surface and the epiphyseal bone cortex in the remaining three-quarters. There are sparse trabeculae in the fibular head. F, femur; T, tibia; black triangle, dense trabeculae in lateral condyle of tibial plateau. White triangle, dense trabeculae in medial condyle of tibial plateau. Black square frame, the bone trabeculae were irregular in this area of the lateral tibial plateau and fibula
