Tibia central portions of these facets articulate with the condyles of the femur, while their peripheral portions support the menisci of the knee joint, which here intervene between the two bones. Between the articular facets in the intercondylar area, but nearer the posterior than the anterior aspect of the bone, is the intercondyloid eminence ("spine of tibia"), surmounted on either side by a prominent tubercle, on to the sides of which the articular facets are prolonged; in front of and behind the intercondyloid eminence are rough depressions for the attachment of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and the menisci. The
Vertical clinging and leaping phalangeal index, low intermembral index, femurs with cylindrical head and high, narrow patellar grooves, and fused fibula and tibia. The high phalangeal index is the elongation of the phalangeal finger bones, which helps vertical clingers who require increased prehensile power in their hands to support their large bulk. The low intermebral index is the total length of the humerus and radius in percentage of total length of the femur and tibia. The features of the femur is part of an evolution of elongated femurs that helps the primates' extreme range of flexion and extension, which allows them to perform their
