Anatomy
Between the articular facets of the upper extremity of the 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]
