What else can I help you with?
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 are four bones that are distal to the femur?
The tibia, fibula, patella, and talus are four bones that are distal to the femur.
Distal femur subperiosteal abscess icd-9?
The ICD-9 code for a distal femur subperiosteal abscess is 730.28.
Is the femur distal to the tarsals?
Yes, the femur is proximal to the tarsals. The femur is the long bone in the thigh, which is closer to the trunk of the body, while the tarsals are the bones in the foot, which are distal to the femur.
What covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia?
The meniscus covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia. This cartilage provides smooth movement and shock absorption.
What is the name of the joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia that the patella overlaps?
The joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia where the patella overlaps is called the knee joint. It is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension of the leg.
Is the knee cap deep to the femur?
The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.
Where is the intercondylar fossa located?
between the condyles on the distal end of the femur, on its posterior aspect.
The femur joins with the tibia at its distal end and fits into what at its proximal end?
The femur fits into the acetabulum at its proximal end.
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form the knee joint, also known as the stifle joint in animals.
What portion of the femur bone helps make up the knee cap?
The distal end of the femur bone, specifically the patellar surface, helps to make up the knee joint by articulating with the patella (kneecap) to form part of the knee joint.
Where does a Femur go?
The Femur Articulates (Forms a joint) with the Acetabularium of the pelvis bone at the junction of Ilium and Ischium. This is a ball and Socket Joint. And this is at the proximal end of the Femur. The distal end of the Femur articulates with the Tibia and Fibula (The bones of the shank region). This is a hinge joint.
