The radical tuberosity is primarily an attachment site for the biceps brachii muscle via the bicipital aponeurosis. This prominence on the radius serves as a key point for the muscle's tendon, enabling flexion of the forearm at the elbow joint and supination of the forearm. Additionally, the brachialis muscle has a partial attachment nearby, contributing to elbow flexion as well.
The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.

The radial tuberosity is also known as the bicipital tuberosity and is a bony marking which is the main insertion of the biceps brachii muscle. The radial tuberosity is also known as the bicipital tuberosity and is a bony marking which is the main insertion of the biceps brachii muscle.
It is called a tuberosity.
A tubercle, is a small bony nodule or eminence where a muscle generally attaches, wheres a tuberosity tends to be a larger, rougher bony eminence in which a muscle also generally attaches.
The greater tuberosity of the humerus forms the lateral contour of the shoulder. The supraspinatus muscle attaches at the greater tuberosity.

clavicle (collarbone). The conoid tubercle is a small bump on the inferior surface of the clavicle where the conoid ligament attaches. The costal tuberosity is a roughened area on the medial aspect of the clavicle where the costoclavicular ligament attaches.
The tuberosity of the ischium is more informally known as a sitting bone. Its lower part is where the sacrotuberous ligament attaches.
