The strong membrane that surrounds the surface of the bone is called the periosteum. There is no periosteum at the joints of the long bones, like the femur.
The periosteum. Peri- means around and -osteum means bone.
The thick fibrous membrane covering the surface of a bone, except its articular cartilage, is the Periosteum.

The membrane that covers most parts of all bones is called Periosteum.
I believe you are referring to periosteum. Periosteum is a fibrous, dense irregular connective tissue lining the outer surface of all of your bones, but not at the joints.
The periosteum is the tough fibrous membrane that surrounds each bone. "Peri-" means around, and "oste-" is the combining form meaning bone.
periosteum
periosteum : tough fibrous connective tissue membrane that covers the outside of the diaphysis. this protects the bone and serves as a point of attachment.
The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
Epineurium is a tough fibrous sheath that covers the whole nerve.
Collagenous fibers are the tough fibers of connective tissue.

An example of a tough connective tissue is a tendon.
