What bones articulates with the inferior end of the femur?
The inferior end of the femur articulates with the tibia and patella. The femur forms the knee joint with the tibia and the patella acts as a protector and provides leverage for the quadriceps muscles.
Is the femur superior to the patella?
Yes, the femur is superior to the patella. The femur is the thigh bone and is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, while the patella is a small, flat bone commonly known as the kneecap that sits in front of the knee joint.
Is the patella bone proximal to the ulna bone?
No, the patella is not proximal to the ulna. The patella is the kneecap, and is on the lower extremity. The ulna is the smaller of the forearm bones. Since the structures are on different limbs, you can't use the directionals proximal and distal. However, the patella is inferior and medial to the ulna.
Name the bones of the lower limbs from superior to inferior?

What is lipping of the inferior patella?
Lipping or Osteophytic lipping is the body's reponse to wear and tear of the articular cartilage which the body is unable to replace. So in the best effort to repair it lays down bits of bone called osteophytes. These appear on x=ray and often the quality of bone is more like invory than real bone. Lipping of the inferior patella means that ther are osteophytes on the lower aspect of the patella ( knee cap ). This can lead to some pain and swelling and difficulty with knee actions.
