<P> Tubercles are usually found behind the last molar in the upper jaw, covered by the gum . Surgery can be done to make tubercles less prominent . </P> <P> The humerus of the upper arm has two tubercles, the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle . These are situated at the proximal end of the bone, that is the end that connects with the scapula . The greater / lesser tubercule are located from the top of the acromion laterally and inferiorly . The radius has two, the radial tuberosity and Lister's tubercle . </P> <P> The most prominent tubercle of the tibia, a leg bone which is more commonly known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the tibial tuberosity . The tibial tuberosity is located on the tibia's anterior surface, distal to the medial condyle . It creates a bony prominence just below the patella, and can be easily located with the fingers . It creates an attachment point for the ligamentum patellae, or patellar ligament . Other tubercles of the tibia include the medial intercondylar tubercle, the lateral intercondylar tubercle, and Gerdy's tubercle . </P> <P> On a rib, tubercle is an eminence on the back surface, at the junction between the neck and the body of the rib . It consists of an articular and a non-articular area . The lower and more medial articular area is a small oval surface for articulation with the transverse process of the lower of the two vertebrae which gives attachment to the head . The higher, non-articular area is a rough elevation which gives attachment to the ligament of the tubercle . The tubercle is much more prominent in the upper ribs than in the lower ribs . </P>

Gerdy’s tubercle is a bony feature of which bone
