What is the raised area of the condyle?

What is a process just above a condyle?
Above a condyle is a structure known as the epicondyle. Epicondyles are bony protrusions located near the condyle that serve as attachment points for ligaments and tendons, providing stability to the joint.

What does the term condyle mean?
condyle refers to specific bones in the human body e.g. the condyle being the tip of the shaft of the jaw fitting into the glenoid fossa, the socket on the skull. More specifically the condyle is the edge of the mandible (jaw bone). Most often a normal undiseased condyle is rounded and can change shapes due to disease or internal derangment of the disc and ligaments. Yet it can be warped over time from the above said, grinding itself against the skull causing a creaking sound known as crepitus and therefor can become disfugred, diseased and painful hence the misshapen condyle either thinning and or now triangular in shape.
