Is the proximal femur close to the pelvis?
The Femur is the Thigh Bone (the bone in the top part of the leg) It is connected to the Pelvis at the Hip (synnovial Ball and Socket joint between the head of the femur and the Acetabulum of the pelvis) and to the two bones of the lower leg (Tibia and Fibula) at the Knee joint (a synnovial hinge joint). The term Proximal is the opposite partner of the term Distal. Distal has perhaps the more obvious of the two meaning as it is related to the word "distant" meaning far away. The term, when used in anatomy, means the part of a structure that is far away from the trunk of the body. Proximal then, being the opposite, means the part of a structure that is closest to the trunk of the body. For example the three phalangees in a finger are reffered to as the proximal (the one that connects to the hand), middle (the one that is between the other two) and distal ( the one at the tip of the finger) phallangess. The terms however are also sometimes used when talking about internal organs. By definition of the terms this is an incorrect usage but there is no other practical way to describe things like the small intestine as it is soo convoluted. In short the Proximal Part of the Femur is the part that is close to pelvis (the the distal part is close to the knee) but as there is only one femur in each side, ie not one further from the trunk than the other, it is incorrect to call it the proximal femur.

It is a concave surface that allows for the forming of the hip joint which allows you kick your leg up.The hip has these two bowl shaped regions into which the upper femur fits. This is the hip joint. That bowl shaped region is called the acetabulum.
