The tibiofemoral joint is at the distal and of the femur and proximal end of the tibia. The femur is the thighbone, and the tibia is the larger of the two bones of the lower leg.

What bone is distal to the femur?

Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.


Which bone is found anterior to the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia?

The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.


The stifle of a horse is the same as what part of the human?

The stifle of a horse is anatomically equivalent to the knee of a human - it is a hinge joint consisting of the distal femur, proximal tibia, proximal fibula and the patella (kneecap).


Is the knee cap deep to the femur?

The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.


Is the femur distal to the tarsals?

Yes, the femur is proximal to the tarsals. The femur is the long bone in the thigh, which is closer to the trunk of the body, while the tarsals are the bones in the foot, which are distal to the femur.


What are four bones that are distal to the femur?

There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.


What are all the bones names in a cats rear legs?

Proximal to distal, the femur, the tibia, the patella, the fibula, the tarsal bones (ankle bones), the five metatarsals and the 12 phalanges.


The femur joins with the tibia at its distal end and fits into what at its proximal end?

The femur fits into the acetabulum at its proximal end.


What are the bones that form your knee joint?

There are two. From the thigh, the distal femur interacts with the proximal tibia to form the bony structures of the knee. The patella is also present, but is not actually part of the knee joint. It acts as a lever to aid the quadriceps extend the knee in a more energy-efficient manner.


The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?

The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form the knee joint, also known as the stifle joint in animals.


What are the bones of the lower extremity from proximal to distal?

The bones of the lower extremity, from proximal to distal, include the pelvis (which consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis), femur, patella, tibia, and fibula. The tibia and fibula are the two long bones of the lower leg, with the tibia being the larger and weight-bearing bone. Distally, the bones of the ankle include the talus and calcaneus, followed by the metatarsals and phalanges of the foot.


Is proximal end of femur is near pelvis?

Yes, "proximal" anatomically generally refers to the end nearest the center of the body, with "distal" referring to the end furthest away from the main body. The femur is the large leg bone that extends from the hip to the knee, thereby placing the proximal end near the pelvis, and the distal end at the knee joint.
