The tibial spine is a boney ridge in the middle of the tibial plateau (the flat upper portion of the tibia on which the femur rests). The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) attaches to the front of this prominence. A tibial spine fracture occurs when stress is placed on the ACL pulling a portion or the entire tibial spine away from the rest of the tibia.
