What else can I help you with?
Which bone will join with the femur?
Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, Acetabelum Tibia, AcetabelumThe femur articulates with the Tibia, Patellae and the OS coxae (pelvis).Hip bone and shin bone
What type of joint is the tibiofemoral joint?
Proximally (towards the hip) the femur articulates (attaches to) the acetabulum which is made up of all three hip bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. Distally (towards the foot) the femur articulates with the the tibia and fibula.
What is the only bone that articulates with the tibia and fibula?
The femur articulates with the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia. The femur is the bone commonly known as the thigh bone.
Processes on the femur and tibia that form the knee joint?
The femur has two processes that help form the knee joint: the lateral and medial condyles. These articulate with the corresponding condyles of the tibia, which are referred to as the lateral and medial tibial plateaus. Together, these processes form the main components of the knee joint.
Where are Medial and lateral condyles of the femur involved at?
The medial and lateral condyles of the femur are involved in articulating with the tibia to form the knee joint. They help to stabilize the knee joint and assist in weight-bearing and movement of the lower limb.
Why does hip joint referred to as the acetabulofemoral joint?
Because hip joint is articulation between acetabulum (concavity on lateral surface of hip bone) and femur (thigh bone).
What is the tibia connected to?
The tibia is connected to the fibula. They are both located on the leg below the knee.
Is the fibula lateral to the tibia?
The tibia is medial to the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the lower leg bones.
Which bones form lateral and medial malleolus?
The lateral malleolus is formed by the fibula, while the medial malleolus is formed by the tibia. These bony protrusions are located on each side of the ankle joint, providing stability and support to the joint.
What joint does the gracilis cross?
The gracilis crosses both the hip joint and the knee joint. It originates from the pubic bone and inserts onto the tibia.
What landmarks would you use to measure a femur and tibia?
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 tibia is what to the fibula?
The fibula is lateral to the tibia.
