Document Summary
Femur: head, fovea capitis, neck, greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, gluteal tuberosity, linea aspera, lateral condyle, medial condyle, medial epicondyle, lateral epicondyle, patellar surface. Intercondylar eminence: tibial tuberosity, anterior border (crest, medial malleolus. Description of bone and or/bone marking (thigh bone) heaviest, longest, strongest bone in the body. Ball-shaped projection at the proximal end of the femur. Small, central depression where a ligament extending from the acetabulum attaches to secure the femur in the hip joint. Constricted region of the bone distolateral to the head, is the weakest part of the femur. Projections that serves as attachment sites for hip muscles. Roughened projection on the posteroproximal surface that blends into the linea aspera. Large, rounded projections on the distal femur; articulates with the lateral and medial condyle of tibia. Projections just superior to the condyles; serve as attachment sites for knee and hip muscles. Area between the condyles on the anterior surface, articulates with the patella (kneecap) small, triangular sesamoid bone.
