The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
In anatomy "superior" means above, as in if someone is standing up the hip is above the knee. The hip joint is the first joint higher than the knee, so it is the first joint "superior" to the knee.
The femur extends from the hip to the patella. So measure from your hip to the knee. The tibia extends from the patella to the ankle. So measure from the knee to the "ankle bone".

The cost of knee, hip and ankle replacement surgeries usually include only the procedure and the hospitalization. The prosthesis is paid by a patient separately. Rehabilitation period after the surgery is also extra charged. But there are clinics which provide the packages for knee, hip and ankle replacements. The packages usually include the consultation with an orthopedist, the surgery, hospitalization, meals and the transfer to/from an airport.

It is the code for a non contrast MRI of a lower joint: hip, knee, or ankle.
