“Eminence” or “Bone Eminence” refers to a raised, projecting, or protuberant portion of a bone surface that may provide structural contour, serve as a point of attachment for tendons, ligaments, or joint capsules, act as a surgical landmark, or otherwise function as a notable feature. Examples include Ridges, Tubercles, Tuberosities, Spines, Condyles, Processes, or similar elevations, such as the Medial Cuneiform Eminence, the Tibial Tuberosity, the Greater Trochanter, the Occipital Protuberance, or the like. A bone eminence may occur naturally as part of skeletal anatomy or may be created, formed, reshaped, or augmented as part of a surgical procedure. For example, a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) bunion correction procedure may create an eminence, that may be referred to as a medial bone spike.
