The answer is: medial to the fibula.

Explanation:

  • The tibia is the larger and more medial of the two bones in the lower leg.
  • The fibula is the smaller bone and is located laterally to the tibia.
  • In the anatomic position, which is a standard position of the body used as a reference in anatomy, the tibia is positioned closer to the midline of the body compared to the fibula. Therefore, the tibia is medial to the fibula.
