intercondylar fossa


Explanation:
I think the use of the word 'inferior' is pleonastic in this case, better leave it out.

Example sentence(s):
  • The inferior, oblong surfaces of the condyles are separated by the intercondylar fossa which houses the cruciate ligaments.
  • The inferior end of the femur consists of two condyles, which are continuous anteriorly but separated inferiorly and posteriorly by the intercondylar fossa.
