This document describes the anatomy of the femur bone. It discusses the main parts of the femur including the head, neck, greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, shaft, and condyles. It provides details on the features and structures of the upper end of the femur, including that the head is capped with cartilage and directs upward and medially, the neck extends from the shaft and has anterior and posterior surfaces, and the greater and lesser trochanters bound the neck above and below. The overall goal is to educate students on the different parts and features of the femur bone.

At the end of the session, the students should be able to:
Know different parts of the femur
Determine the side of the bone Identify the surfaces and borders of the bone General features
Femur is the longest and largest bone in the body.
Forward convexity of the shaft and posterior concavity Has the linea aspera in its middle third posteriorly An angle of torsion of 30 with the shaft Femoral condyles rest horizontally on the plateau of the tibia . In the erect posture it is not vertical but inclined downward and medially The inclination of the shaft depends on the length of the femur and the width of the pelvis. body and two extremities. Upper end has Head
Neck
Lesser trochanters
Greater trochanters.
Body is known as the shaft
Lower end has lateral and medial condyles. It forms part of the hip joint and knee joint.
There are four eminences:
Head Greater trochanter Lesser trochanter Lower extremity. Upper end of the femur
The upper extremity has a
head, a neck, a greater and a lesser trochanter Head of the femur
Capped with hyaline cartilage
More than half a sphere. Directed upward, medially, and a little forward Medial convexity has the fovea capitis femoris. Anteriorly the articular cartilage extends to the neck. The synovial membrane of the hip joint, lines the capsule and covers the retinacular fibres on the neck which are attached to the articular margin of the head. Neck of the femur An upward extension of the shaft. The angle of the neck is strengthened internally by the calcar femorale Bounded above by the greater trochanter and below by the lesser trochanter It has anterior and posterior surface superior and inferior borders. The anterior surface of the neck with its adherent retinacular fibres is wholly intracapsular perforated by numerous vascular foramina
Posterior surface is smooth
The back of the neck joins the greater trochanter at a prominent rounded ridge, the intertrochanteric crest Capsule is attached only halfway to the crest Superior border is short and thick Ends laterally at the greater trochanter its surface is perforated by large foramina Inferior border, long and narrow curves a little backward, to end at the lesser trochanter.
