Intercondylar Tubercle Medial

Intercondylar Medial Tubercle is a structure in the knee area located between the condyles of the femur. It is one of the main elements of the knee ligament system and plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the knee.

The intercondylar medial tubercle is located on the inside of the knee joint, between the medial condyle of the femur and the medial surface of the tibia. It is a small elevation formed by the ligaments and muscles surrounding the knee. The intercondylar medial tubercle is crescent-shaped and serves to maintain stability of the knee joint.

The functions of the intercondylar medial tubercle include:

– Ensuring stability of the knee joint;
– Supports normal leg movement;
– Strengthens knee ligaments and reduces the risk of injury.

Injury to the intercondylar medial tubercle can compromise the stability of the knee joint and cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Various methods are used to treat injury to the intercondylar tubercle, including conservative and surgical.

Conservative treatment may include anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and strengthening the muscles and ligaments around the knee. Surgery may be required if the injury is severe or if conservative treatment fails.

Overall, the intercondylar medial tubercle plays an important role in the functioning of the knee joint and maintaining its stability. Therefore, it is important to monitor the health of this area and take measures to strengthen it if necessary.

The intercondylar tubercle is a protrusion of the lateral femoral condyle, directed proximally and inward to the joint, distant from the femoral head proximal to its contours.

*The intercondylar eminence is a biconvex platform located on the tibia across the joint at the level of the line of the intercondylar fossa.*

It allows you to reduce the volume of the meniscus during movements. Thanks to the medial superior tubercle, loads are absorbed during movements in the knee joint. During construction, the tubercle covers the anterior part of the tibial condyles and the articular area above the medial meniscus.

**Functions of the tubercle:**

The function of the acetabulum is transmitted to the fibular collateral ligament through the medial eminence tubercle. With the help of the function of the intercondylar tubercle, the mechanism of rotation of the anterior part of the tibia relative to the femur is carried out.

During walking, the tubercles catch the spaces between the bones and strain the muscles: anterior, posterior, quadriceps muscles. This reduces friction at the junction of the tibial epiphysis with the femur.
