Studied by 5 peopleFemur bone
How many landmarks are there of the Femur? List them?
10
head of the femur
neck of the femur
greater trochanter
lesser trochanter
medial condyle
lateral condyle
medal epicondyle
lateral epicondyle
intercondylar fossa
patellar groove/surface
Femur - head of the femur
the ball-like proximal end of the femur inserts into the acetabulum of the coxa
Femur - neck of the femur
Femur - greater trochanter
the trochanters are attachment sites for the hip muscles moving the femur
Femur - lesser trochanter
the trochanters are attachment sites for the hip muscles moving the femur
Femur - medial condyle
large rounded bumps on the distal end of the femur. The condyles bear weight while also allowing movement at the knee. A ligament attached to the medial condyle of the femur helps hold the tibia in place
Femur - lateral condyle
large rounded bumps on the distal end of the femur. The condyles bear weight while also allowing movement at the knee.
Femur - medal epicondyle
bumps on the medial side of the distal femur located just superior to the condyles. they are muscle attachment sites
Femur - lateral epicondyle
bumps on the lateral side of the distal femur located just superior to the condues. They are muscle attachment sites
Femur - intercondylar fossa
(posterior view)
an attachment site or ligaments holding the femur and tibia together
Femur - patellar groove/surface
where your patella (knee) attaches
a small depression on the anterior side of the distal end of the femur. the patella moves within the patellar groove when the leg moves
Patella bone
the knee/kneecap
Tibia bone
Tibia = thick
How many landmarks does the Tibia bone have? List them
5
medial condyle
lateral condyle
intercondylar eminence
tibial tuberosity
medial malleolus
Tibia - medial condyle
region on the proximal end of the tibia that articulates with the condyles of the femur.. the condyles bear weight while also allowing movement at the knee
Tibia - lateral condyle
region on the proximal end of the tibia that articulates with the condyles of the femur. the condyles bear weight while also allowing movement at the knee
Tibia - intercondylar eminence
in between the condyles
Tibia - tibial tuberosity
ligaments holding the patella in place attach to the tibial tuberosity
Tibia - medial malleolus
the bone on ur ankle that sticks out (but the inner part of ur ankle cause its on your tibia)
the distal end of the tibia is an attachment site for ligaments holding the leg and foot bones together at the ankle
Fibula bone
How many landmarks does the Fibula have? List them
2
head of the fibula
lateral malleolus
Fibula - head of the fibula
the head attaches the fibula attaches the fibula to the proximal end of the tibia
Fibula - lateral malleolus
now this is the bigger bone that sticks out on your ankle (on the outside of your ankle)
the distal end of the fibula is an attachment site fo ligaments holding the leg and got bones together at the ankle
The Foot
List the sections in the foot

Metatarsals (1 - 5 ) - Big toe is #1
Phalanges (1 - 5 ) - Big toe is #1
Tarsals - list the bones
Calcaneus
Talus
Navicular
Cuboid
Lateral cuneiform
Medial cuneiform
Intermediate cuneiform
Metatarsals
Phalanges
Proximal
