Your shinbone is the long front bone of your lower leg, from just below the knee down toward the ankle. If you knock your shin on a low table, this is the bone you hit — there is little padding over it, so it hurts more than a knock on the thigh. Doctors call the same bone the tibia. Beside it, more to the outside, sits a thinner bone; that one is not the shinbone. Shinbone is the everyday compound; in a hospital you are more likely to hear tibia. People also say shin for the front of that part of the leg, bone and skin together, but shinbone points to the bone itself.
