What is the term for hip socket?
Another name for the hip socket is acetabulum.
Which bone is the longest in the human skeleton Fibula Femur Tibia?
The femur.
What side of the body is the femur?
Your femur is not located on just one side of the body; the femur is your thighbone.
Which is the strongest and longest bone of human body?
The largest and strongest bone in the body is called the MANDIBLE
How do you remember the femur?
the lemur stretches its long leg which holds the femur.
What has the author Zoe Matthews written?

What is an external way to fix a femur fracture on a dog?
Go to the doctor????????
What artery supplies blood to the head of the femur?
Medial Femoral Circumflex... Without this artery blood supply to the head of the femur is cut off and the head of the femur will die
What muscles are used in hip medial rotation?
Knee Rotation:- as extension progresses, shorter, more highly curved lateral condyle exhausts its articular surface andis checked by ACL, whereas larger and less curved medial condyle continues its forwardroll & skids backward, assisted by tightening of PCL;- result is a medial rotation of femur (external tibial rotation) that tightens collateral ligaments, & joint is "screwed home",to use mechanical phraseology;- flexion of extended knee is preceded by lateral rotation of femur (or medial rotation of tibia), usually produced by popliteus;- this rotation relaxes the tension of the collateral ligaments sufficiently to permit flexion;
What type of joint is found in the kne3e?
The knee joint is a synovial joint, one of the largest, most complex, and most frequently injured joints. This joint involves the femur (upper leg), tibia (lower leg) and the patella.This called the tibiofemoral joint is supported by a joint capsule, cartilage, and numerous ligaments and muscle tendons.It permits flexion and extension and, with knee flexed, some internal and external rotation.
Why fracture in femur is dangerous?
The femoral artery runs right along the femur. A fracture in the femur might damage the artery leading to massive internal bleeding, as the femoral artery is one of the largest arteries in your body.
With what part of the hip bone does The head of the femur articulate?
The head of the femur articulates with the os coxa (pelvis) at the acetabulum. The acetabulum is the rounded socket that the head of the femur fits into. It also allows sliding of the pelvic bones and rotation. This joint is a synovial joint and is an example of a "ball-and-socket" joint.
What are two different joints found in the knee including the bone marking and movements produced by these movements?
The two joints are the tibiofemoral and the patellofemoral joints. The tibiofemoral joint is formed by the distal end of the femur particularly the lateral and medial femoral condyles, and the proximal end of the tibia particularly the lateral and medial tibial plateaus. Movements available at this joint are flexion & extension, internal & external rotation. The patellofemoral joint is formed by the articulation between the trochlea of the femur and the articular surfaces of the patella. Movements available at this joint are basically gliding movements that accompany tibiofemoral joint movements, namely; superior, inferior, lateral & medial gliding.
What joint connect the hips to thighbone?
the joint wich connects the hip and femur together is the ball in socket joint. this allows for full rotation of the joint.
What is fracture of neck of femur?
external rotation and shortening of the affected leg, pain on any movement, tenderness on palpation of anterior and lateral aspects of the affectedt hip, the greater trochanter is elevated on the affected side, inability to mobilise.
What is the cpt code for an open reduction internal fixation distal femur?
what is the cpt code for OPEN REDUCTION INTERNAL FIXATION LEFT DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE
Articulates with the coxal bone?
The femur :)
