13 lis 2020 · The femur is the only bone in the thigh and the longest bone in the body. It acts as the site of origin and attachment of many muscles and ligaments, and can be divided into three parts; proximal, shaft and distal. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the femur – its attachments, bony landmarks, and clinical correlations.
3 lis 2023 · Femur anatomy. Now we’ve come to the largest bone of the human body, the almighty femur. The femur is a long bone, with a proximal end, a shaft, and a distal end. The proximal end participates in the hip joint, while the distal end takes part in the knee joint.
9 cze 2024 · Patellar Surface & Groove. The patellar surface of the femur is a groove-like area at the lower front part of the thigh bone. This groove is between the inner and outer parts of the lower femur. It connects with a ridge on the patella (kneecap), forming the patellofemoral joint.
11 wrz 2023 · The hip muscles encompass many muscles of the hip and thigh whose main function is to act on the thigh at the hip joint and stabilize the pelvis. Without them, walking would be impossible. They can be divided into three main groups: Iliopsoas group. Gluteal muscles. Hip adductors.
Comprehensive anatomy of thigh and knee including surface landmarks of the femur and proximal tibia/fibula relative to imaging, and common musculoskeletal conditions. The origin, course, distribution, and anastomosis of the branches to the major vessels that supply the femoral region, hip, and knee, including the cruciate and genicular.
The proximal end or epiphysis is the upper end of the femur. It articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone, forming the hip joint. The proximal end presents several landmarks, including: Head of the femur featuring the fovea for the ligament of the head. Neck of the femur. Greater trochanter with the trochanteric fossa. Lesser trochanter.
