How does your femur help you move?
The femur is almost verticle and strong bone. It can bear the lot of weight. It is slightly convex anteriorly. That gives you added advantage in weight bearing. Convexity on anterior side, enable you to to tolerate the trauma from the front side in better way. There is an angle between the head neck portion and shaft of the femur. That shift the location of the femur away from the hip bone. This arrangement shifts the line of weight transmission towards side way. Then you have the ball and socket type of joint at the hip joint. That allows all types of movement across the joint. You have the knee joint to give you hinge joint. This allows for bending the knee more or less. Together with these features the femur is architectural marvel.
What is ACL tear?
This is a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. It is a significant ligament helping to connect the tibia bone in the lower leg to the femur in the thigh.
Which bone is the longest in the human skeleton Fibula Femur Tibia?
The femur.
What side of the body is the femur?
Your femur is not located on just one side of the body; the femur is your thighbone.
What do the hips do?
The hip joint (iliofemoral joint) is a ball-and-socket joint that provides a wide range of movement. Its main purpose is to provide articulation for the femur bone.
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.
Is the rectus femoris the shoulder muscle?
No, it is on the anterior femur. AKA, top of thigh.
What is fracture of neck of femur?
external rotation and shortening of the affected leg, pain on any movement, tenderness on palpation of anterior and lateral aspects of the affectedt hip, the greater trochanter is elevated on the affected side, inability to mobilise.
Where does the piriformis muscle originate an insert?
The piriformis originates at the anterior sacrum and inserts at the greater trochanter of the femur.
Where does the end of the thigh bone join with the kneecap?
The distal end of the femur joins with the patella.
If a bone is in the posterior view is it a left or right bone?
It's the same bone viewed from the back. Anterior is the front view of the right femur and posterior is the back view of the right femur.
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.
What is the purpose of the femur muscle?
The purpose of your femur muscle is to make or have movement in your legs. Like: running walking, jumping, etc.
What ligaments stops anterior dislocation?
Your answer depends on what particular joint you are asking about. I assume you are asking about the knee in which the posterior cruciate ligament prevents the femur from slipping forward (anterior) in the joint with the fibia and tibia.
What is the interventricular sulcus?
According to some, it is another name for the patellar surface of the anterior distal femur.
What is significant about the length of the femur in relation to other bones of the body?
It is the longest bone in the body.
What Convex and concave rule of the joint?
When a concave surface is moving the roll and the glide occur in the same direction and that when a convex surface is moving the roll and glide are opposite. Here's an example: If the tibia moves on the femur since it is a concave surface it is said the glide is anterior only; however, is the motion is closed chain and the femur is moving on a stationary tibia then the femur which is a convex surface glides posterior and rolls anterior on the tibia's plateau. hope this helps!
