Type IV = Medial tibial plateau fracture, with or without depression; may involve tibial spines; associated soft tissue injuries. This is a medial tibial plateau fracture with a split or depressed component. It is usually the result of a high energy injury and involves a varus force with axial loading at the knee.
The intercondyloid eminence, intercondylar eminence or tibial spine is a structure of the tibia. It lies between the articular facets of the proximal tibia, but nearer the posterior than the anterior aspect of the bone, surmounted on either side by a prominent tubercle, on to the sides of which the articular facets are prolonged.
Its proximal fibers fan out along the medial wall of the lateral femoral condyle. [3] The two bundles of the ACL are the anteromedial and the posterolateral, named according to where the bundles insert into the tibial plateau. [4] [5] The tibial plateau is a critical weight-bearing region on the upper extremity of the tibia.

A condyle is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint – an articulation with another bone. [2] The epicondyle refers to a projection near a condyle, particularly the medial epicondyle of the humerus. [3] These terms derive from Greek. [4] [a]
The tibia (/ ˈ t ɪ b i ə /; pl.: tibiae / ˈ t ɪ b i i / or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle.
The tibial tuberosity thus forms the terminal part of the large structure that acts as a lever to extend the knee-joint and prevents the knee from collapsing when the foot strikes the ground. [1] The two ligaments, the patella, and the tibial tuberosity are all superficial, easily palpable structures. [2]
A condyle (/ ˈ k ɒ n d ɪ l,-d aɪ l /; [1] [2] Latin: condylus, from Greek: kondylos; κόνδυλος knuckle) is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint – an articulation with another bone. It is one of the markings or features of bones, and can refer to:
