ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Where is the femur located? The femur is the only bone in your thigh. It runs from your hip to your knee.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thigh bone, or femur, is the large upper leg bone that connects the lower leg bones (knee joint) to the pelvic bone (hip joint).

Detailed explanation-3: -The femur is the only bone located within the human thigh. It is both the longest and the strongest bone in the human body, extending from the hip to the knee.

Detailed explanation-4: -Telling a right femur from a left is easy if you know what to look for. The head of the femur connects to the hip joint, so it is toward the middle of the body. Using anatomical terminology, the head is medial and proximal. The greater trochanter is on the lateral side of the bone, away from the middle of the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Structure. The femur is the only bone in the upper leg. The two femurs converge medially toward the knees, where they articulate with the proximal ends of the tibiae.
