Intercondylar eminence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Intercondyloid eminence

Upper surface of right tibia.
Latin	Eminentia intercondylaris
Gray's	p.256

The intercondylar eminence, or tibial spine, is a structure of the tibia.

Anatomy

Between the articular facets of the proximal tibia, but nearer the posterior than the anterior aspect of the bone, is the intercondyloid eminence (intercondylar eminence, spine of tibia), surmounted on either side by a prominent tubercle, on to the sides of which the articular facets are prolonged; in front of and behind the intercondyloid eminence are rough depressions for the attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament and the menisci.

Clinical significance

It can be involved in fractures.^[1]^[2]
