Where is the gluteal tuberosity?
femur
thigh bone
head of the femur
the bulb
most superior protrusion
linea aspera
“rough line”
along the shaft of the femur
on the posterior side
inferior to gluteal tuberosity
neck
connects the head to the shaft
patellar surface/notch
where the knee is
greater trochanter
the bump lateral to the head
lesser trochanter
small bump inferior to the greater trochanter
same side as the head
lateral condyle
bump
on the distal end
posterior, lateral
“the lateral testicle of the femur”
medial condyle
bump
on the distal end
posterior, medial
“the medial testicle of the femur”
lateral epicondyle
little projection beside the lateral condyle
distal end
medial epicondyle
little projection beside the medial condyle
distal end
gluteal tuberosity
rough patch right above the linea aspera
