Processes on the femur and tibia that form the knee joint?
The medial and lateral condyles, located on the femur and the tibia, form the knee joint. The medial condyle, which is closer to the center of the body, is larger.
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.
Is the greater trochanter a lateral or a medial structure of the femur?
It is a lateral structure of the pelvis.
Which is the medial bone of lower extremity?
Tibia is the medial bone of the lower extremity
The medial condyle of the femur articulates with the medial condyle of the?
The medial condyle of the tibia
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.

It is a lateral structure of the pelvis.
What are the proximal end landmarks of the tibia?
The primary proximal end landmarks of the tibia are the lateral and medial condyles. These bumps at the top of the tibia are the site where the tibia articulates with the femur. Between the condyles is the intercondylar area, which is the place where the ligaments of the knee attach. The meniscus attaches in the intercondylar area as well.
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.
Which is the medial bone of lower extremity?
Tibia is the medial bone of the lower extremity
The medial condyle of the femur articulates with the medial condyle of the?
The medial condyle of the tibia
Where is the intercondylar fossa located?
between the condyles on the distal end of the femur, on its posterior aspect.
Sites of muscle attachment on the proximal femur?
the medial epicondyle and the lateral epicondyle - The gluteal tuberosity and linea aspera
Menisci refer to?
Menisci (including the medial meniscus and the lateral meniscus) are the cartilaginous components in the knee - between the proximal tibia and the distal portion of the femur.
What bony landmark is located proximal medial portion of the thigh?
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.
