intercondylar eminence

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

The intercondylar eminence divides the intercondylar area into an anterior and posterior part.

Here the medial and lateral intercondylar tubercle forms the intercondylar eminence.

The pair of tibial condyles are separated by the intercondylar eminence composed of a lateral and a medial tubercle.

The lateral intercondylar tubercle is a protrusion on the intercondylar eminence of the upper extremity of tibia.

The cranial cruciate ligament runs from the cranila mid part of the tibial intercondylar eminence to the lateral condyle of the femur.

The tibial plateau is a critical weight-bearing area located on the upper extremity of the tibia and is composed of two slightly concave condyles (medial condyle and lateral condyle) separated by an intercondylar eminence and the sloping areas in front and behind it.
