The posterior inferior iliac spine (Sweeney's Tubercle) is an anatomical landmark that describes a bony "spine", or projection, at the posterior and inferior surface of the iliac bone.
These two spines are separated by a bony notch.
They appear as two dimples in the skin, at the level of the lower back.
