Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common injury in orthopaedic sports medicine.The only osseous landmark described in the ACL femoral attachment is the so called lateral condylar ridge – resident’s ridge.Osseous anatomy of femoral condylar notch was studied. The presence of an osseous ridge on the lateral wall of intercondylar notch and slightly anterior to posterior outlet was checked in all the bones.Results showed the presence of ridge in 98.21%  of males and 95.45% of females .In the studied population, only in 3 femurs the ridge was unable to be defined.The present study results are correlating most of the previous studies.The study results did not reveal any marked sex difference.The osseous anatomy of femoral intercondylar notch is crucial for accurate reconstruction of injured ACL . The presence of lateral intercondylar ridge helps in the accurate femoral tunnel placement during reconstruction surgery.
