The right and left femurs can be distinguished by examining the orientation of the head and the greater and lesser trochanters. The head of the femur faces medially, while the greater trochanter is positioned laterally. Additionally, the femoral shaft has a slight anterior curvature; when the femur is oriented properly, the condyles at the distal end should face posteriorly. Thus, the overall anatomical features and orientation differentiate the right femur from the left.
