The posterior surface contains at its upper part a prominent ridge known as the popliteal line, and a deep transverse groove provides for the insertion of the tendon of the semi-membran-osus.
The posterior surface contains at its upper part a prominent ridge known as the popliteal line, and a deep transverse groove provides for the insertion of the tendon of the semi-membran-osus. In the male, the direction of it is almost entirely vertical, but in the female it has an oblique downward direction. It contains the styloid process and three distinct centers for ossification, and is prismoid in shape. The soleus and flexor digitorum longus both attach on the posterior surface. A posterior intercondyloid fossa separates the lateral and medial condyles in, FTP, this second largest bone in the human body, which articulates with the femur, patella, fibula, and ankle, and is known commonly as the shin bone.
