The femur.
Another name for the hip socket is acetabulum.
Your femur is not located on just one side of the body; the femur is your thighbone.
The largest and strongest bone in the body is called the MANDIBLE
The hip joint is a ball and socket joint connecting the femur and pelvis, allowing for a wide range of motion. The knee joint is a hinge joint connecting the femur and tibia, allowing for flexion and extension movements. The elbow joint is a hinge joint connecting the humerus, radius, and ulna, allowing for flexion and extension as well as rotation of the forearm.

Medial Femoral Circumflex... Without this artery blood supply to the head of the femur is cut off and the head of the femur will die
The position that causes the most contact between the articular surfaces of the acetabulum and the head of the femur is hip extension with slight abduction and external rotation. This position maximizes the congruence between the two surfaces, allowing for more efficient load transmission and stability.
The knee joint is a synovial joint, one of the largest, most complex, and most frequently injured joints. This joint involves the femur (upper leg), tibia (lower leg) and the patella.This called the tibiofemoral joint is supported by a joint capsule, cartilage, and numerous ligaments and muscle tendons.It permits flexion and extension and, with knee flexed, some internal and external rotation.
Knee Rotation:- as extension progresses, shorter, more highly curved lateral condyle exhausts its articular surface andis checked by ACL, whereas larger and less curved medial condyle continues its forwardroll & skids backward, assisted by tightening of PCL;- result is a medial rotation of femur (external tibial rotation) that tightens collateral ligaments, & joint is "screwed home",to use mechanical phraseology;- flexion of extended knee is preceded by lateral rotation of femur (or medial rotation of tibia), usually produced by popliteus;- this rotation relaxes the tension of the collateral ligaments sufficiently to permit flexion;
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.
the joint wich connects the hip and femur together is the ball in socket joint. this allows for full rotation of the joint.
what is the cpt code for OPEN REDUCTION INTERNAL FIXATION LEFT DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE
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.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps to prevent the knee from excessive lateral (sideways) rotation. It provides stability by limiting the tibia's forward movement in relation to the femur.
Leg medial rotation refers to the movement of the leg towards the midline of the body. This movement occurs mainly at the hip joint, where the femur rotates inward. Leg medial rotation is important for actions such as crossing one leg over the other while sitting.
