How do you differentiate medial and lateral condyle of femur bone without marker?

If you are viewing the entire bone, you can differentiate the medial and lateral condyles by noting that the medial condyle is on the side with the head of the femur, and the lateral is on the side with the greater trochanter. If you have only the distal end of the femur available, then you can differentiate the condyles by noting that the medial condyle is longer and the lateral condyle is wider.
