From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Intercondylar fossa of femur
Lower extremity of right femur viewed from below.

In front, the condyles are but slightly prominent, and are separated from one another by a smooth shallow articular depression called the patellar surface; behind, they project considerably, and the interval between them forms a deep notch, the intercondylar fossa (or intercondyloid fossa).
